On Friday 7th November 2025 the choir held a very successful and enjoyable ‘Quiz and Fish ‘n’ Chips’ Supper. It must have been a very private event, as no photos, videos or recordings escaped to appear on this website!
The quiz was set by Claire Darlington and we are so grateful for her putting it all together. Thanks to Anne Love who assisted in helping to pull together some of the teams – in total 7 took part.
Also, thanks to Ken and Sandra Hayward for organising the Fish ‘n’ Chips and to them, Julie Barr and Anne Love for setting up Northgate Methodist Church Meeting Room and clearing away afterwards.
The team calling itself ‘We Are Only Here For The Fish ‘n’ Chips’ was disappointed not to have come last in the quiz. Meanwhile, the Altos went out on a high!
£217 raised from the event will be provided to Northgate Methodist Church, towards their refurbishment fund.
The Shirley Band from Solihull in the West Midlands has appointed Kieron Howe as its new Musical Director.
This a major step up for Kieron in the world of brass band music and Village Voices send him our sincere congratulations and wish him all the very best in his new role.
We are pleased to say that Kieron’s new band appointment has no bearing on his continued musical directorship of Village Voices.
On Sunday 5th October 2025 Julie Barr did a wonderful job in organising a 30th anniversary meal for Village Voices at Alderson House, Warwick.
From the arrangements and decorations in the room and on the tables, to the placement names and ’30 year’ balloons – it was perfect and Julie also organised two raffles – the first was normal, the second – an Irish raffle!
As part of the entertainment, Ken Hayward read ‘Ode to Village Voices’.
All in all, it was a very enjoyable event.
Updates about the choir’s events will be displayed on this webpage, as they become available.
