Bexhill Choral Society is a friendly, enthusiastic non-audition choral society in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex. We currently have about 55 members and warmly welcome new singers, particularly tenors.
We also organise social events and have a thriving support group of Friends.
Our regular rehearsals are on Wednesdays 7-9 p.m. at St. Martha's Church Hall, Little Common. We rehearse from January to July and from September to December.
Under our Director of Music, Kenneth Roberts, we perform 3 main concerts during the year, featuring a wide range of choral music. Our concerts take place at St. Augustine's Church, Cooden Drive, in May and October, with the Christmas Carol concert in December.
Ladies: long-sleeved plain black blouse/top, long black skirt, black tights and shoes; discreet jewellery. For some concerts coloured scarves are worn, which are provided by the Society at a cost of £2.
Gentlemen: black DJ, white shirt and black trousers. Black bow tie (red at Christmas).
Members use black folders for concerts. If you don’t have your own, a few are available to be borrowed from the Society.
For the Christmas concert we generally cover folders with (non-rustling!) gold paper.
Membership subscriptions are currently £82 per year (May to April). These may be paid annually in May, or in two instalments in May and November. (If you join between these dates, you will need to see the Treasurer for advice).
If you are a new member, you will not be asked to pay immediately, but will have a trial period of a few weeks to decide if this is for you or not.
Members may, if they wish, buy their own music, but most people borrow music from the Librarian, for which there is usually a small hire charge.
If you would like to join us, please contact our Chairman, Sue Wright, on 01424 213352, or simply come to a rehearsal at St. Martha's Church Hall, Cooden Sea Road, Little Common on a Wednesday from 7-9 and try us out! Otherwise use the Contact Page button to e-mail us.
