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.

Once again, Bishopwearmouth Choral Society is taking part in this Saturday evening concert at the City Hall Newcastle.
Organised by North East Promenaders against Cancer (NEPAC), this now annual charity concert is in its 19th year and will feature singers including Janice Cairns, Suzanne Manuell, Blake Fischer and Bradley Creswick (Violin), backed by a strong choir.
Tickets are £13 to £27, obtainable from the City Hall Box Office (Tel: 2612606) or from www.ticketmaster.co.uk
Although David Murray is well known as the Conductor of Bishopwearmouth Choral Society, and for his many other musical activities, he is by no means the only talented member in his family. As part of the 60th Anniversary Season we are fortunate to be able to host a concert featuring David, Jennifer (clarinet) and Christopher Murray (cello). The concert will feature the Trio by Brahms for Clarinet, Cello and Piano and another piece for the same combination by Beethoven – his Op. 11 Trio in Bb.
The concert will be at Sunderland Minster. Tickets are £10.00 or £8.00 for concessions, obtainable by the usual routes.
