WE would like to thank everyone who attended Hereford Choral Society’s plant sale and coffee morning on Saturday, May 16, at the Bishop’s Palace.

We were delighted to see so many people there and raised more than £1,000 – the generosity of everyone who came is much appreciated.

Thank you also to everyone who helped make the event run so smoothly. The money raised will go towards the 175th anniversary of the Choral Society in 2012. The current financial situation is difficult for everyone and we appreciate that we cannot quickly raise all the money required, so we will be holding other events and activities to help us get to this great milestone in three years’ time. In the meantime, we will continue to performwonderful music in the magnificent setting of Hereford Cathedral, and we are also looking for new singers to join us. The society website has all the details now.
