Effective period / Period of releases: 1972 - 1982

The present Choir was formed in January 1947. Records show that a choir existed intermittently from 1913 – and we have a 1919 Minute Book to prove it! However, we choose to date the ‘modern choir’ from its almost unbroken run of 70 years FROM 1947. Remarkably, the Choir has had only three Musical Directors during this period. The founding Musical Director was Sydney Bowden who served until 1982 taking the choir through 37 years of song.
