A special Anniversary Dinner will take place at the Quayside Exchange, High Street East, Sunderland on Friday 15th May 2009 at 7.00 for 8.00 p.m. with Alan Spedding as the special guest speaker. It is hoped that this will be an opportunity for the Society, Patrons, past members and all their friends to celebrate the history of the Society.
The cost of the dinner, inclusive of a pre-dinner drink, will be £24.00 per head. A booking form, complete with the choice of menu, is available from the Society. As the relevant information concerning the dinner must be passed to The Quayside Exchange by the 5th of May, all bookings for the dinner must have been received by the Society by the 27th April 2009 at the latest.
We look forward to seeing you at this Dinner, which we stress is open to all of our and your friends and trust that our sixtieth anniversary dinner will be a memorable evening with a chance to meet old friends and perhaps to make some new ones.

The Society’s Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday 3rd September 2008, at 7.30 p.m. in Sunderland Minster. The first rehearsal of the new season will be on Wednesday 10th September. Choir members are asked to attend sufficiently early for scores to be distributed ahead of the start of the rehearsal. Please remember to have £5.00 available for score hire.
We look forward to seeing you at both events.
Thank you to everyone who made the Garden Party such a success – those who came and admired the garden and enjoyed the raspberry cream scones and those who made it all possible. Our special thanks to S. and T.W. for the use of their garden. If you are still dreaming of champagne you need to get used to the idea that it has been won by another. Look forward to seeing you at the next 60th Anniversary event and the AGM which is on Wednesday September 3rd, 7.30 p.m. in the Minster.
When celebrating its 60th Anniversary Season, the Choral Society is not one to be put off by a few clouds. The Garden Party is going ahead from 2.00 p.m. and we look forward to seeing you there. We can make no promises for the weather later on in the afternoon so you might want to come prepared.
We hope that the great British summer will not be a problem for the Garden Party but if you would like to check the status of this event before turning up you can do this by :-
Look forward to seeing you there.
For those members of the choir who have signed up to perform alongside the Young Singers in July rehearsals begin on Wednesday 25th June at 7.30 p.m. in Ewesley Road Methodist Church.
Dorothy Hardy, currently finishing her Glass and Ceramics BA Degree at Sunderland University, has taken inspiration from Bishopwearmouth Choral Society and created a stunning piece in glass, entitled ‘Interactive Choir’. Her approach is outlined below in her artist’s statement and it is hoped the members and friends of the Society will have the opportunity of viewing the piece itself at a performance.
