Songsters meet on the first and third Mondays of the month at the United Reformed Church Hall at 2.30pm. We are not a choir but sing for fun with Ann Allen at the piano. We are now able to take new members and would love to meet you.
This picture shows us singing at our Thatcham u3a Open Afternoon as part of the Thatcham Festival.
We performed at our Christmas General Meeting and we also sang for the CAMEO group at St Mary's Church for their Christmas meeting.
