Title: Choir at Reading Station 5pm 9th December Post by: Gordon the Blue Engine on December 09, 2019, 18:45:43 Mrs GTBE was in the choir on the footbridge at Reading station this evening at around 5 pm, collecting for Help the Aged. She says passing passengers were appreciative and generous, so a special thank you to any GWCS members who were passing.

It reminds me of a winter evening, some years back, when a local brass band, unable to use a nearby pre planned practice space, did an impromptu performance on the platform at Redland Station. "Fun Police" considerations aside, this surely engages people with their local stations.

Many years ago, I travelled to Holland on the Harwich ferry, on which there was also a Dutch choir returning from a choral tour. They stood on the rear deck and gave us all an impromptu concert. Much appreciated by all! Title: Re: Choir at Reading Station 5pm 9th December Post by: johnneyw on December 10, 2019, 00:24:36 Blinkin' flip, I would have loved to have been there. I was on the same ferry service from the early 60's to the early 70's and now I'm very jealous of you...….in a nice way.
