Following the success of last year's charity sing in Skipton, held for local farmers who had been hit by the foot and mouth crisis, the choir is to hold a similar event in support of the local Parkinson's Disease Society.

The event will be staged at Haworth Parish Church, on August 31, between 1 and 5 pm.

The choir will also be travelling to Chester over the spring bank holiday weekend and will be performing with the equally well-regarded Trelawnyd Male Choir. The joint performance will take place in the country's smallest cathedral at St Asaph.
