News:
We are delighted to have been placed third in the barbershop section
of the Bournemouth Music Festival on 28th June. Held at the Pavillion
Theatre in Bournemouth we had a lovely day out (marred only by the
absence of our MD - Nick, we all miss you and wish you a speedy
recovery). Shirley directed us in her usual fantastic style and
a great time was had by all. (More photos on the gallery page.)
In October 2008 we will be representing the island by competing
in the IABS International Barbershop Competion at Sligo and plans
are currently underway to finalise our travel arrangements. Can
you help? We are actively seeking sponsorship and funding for
this event.
In November 2008 we celebrate our 21st anniversary and we're currently
seeking a venue for this event.
BBC Children In Need - 16th November 2007. We were delighted to
take part in the BBC South programme filmed at Milestones Museum
in Basingstoke where we presented our cheque for £2,200. Not
only did we make our television debut, but a video clip of our Around
the Island Day Trip is now on the BBC
South website and also on You
Tube's Children In Need section. Our grateful thanks to everyone
who helped us, particularly Wightlink Ferries and Newport Bus Museum.
 Thursday
29th June saw the launch of our Summer Fundraising Event for Children
In Need. Arrangements have been made to sing and fundraise in a
number of venues around the island (see above) and more are still
being planned.
 Our
grateful thanks to Newport Bus Museum for providing transport on
our Around The Island day.
