Mike Jackson writes:

On Sat 12th April 60 members present and past, friends and guests gathered together in Lychpit Community Hall to celebrate the choir’s 40th Anniversary year in style. The event included displays of memorabilia, old photos and a video from past concerts, a delicious buffet supper and entertainment provided by various choir members.

Mavis and Stuart together cut a splendid birthday cake (Photo right) and the chairman, Mike Pearce, presented Mavis with a special card, signed by all present (Photo left).
 
Founded in 1968 by Mavis Lloyd, originally as a ladies’ choir, Basing Singers has evolved into a four part mixed choir with a wide ranging repertoire, and performs typically 3 major concerts each year. Mavis Lloyd is now our accompanist, and Stuart Hicken is our Musical Director. For more information visit http://basingsingers.users.btopenworld.com
