Post Covid Lockdown Recognition - 27th Sept 2021
Monday 18th October, 2021 - 1:01pm
During
choir practice on Monday, our President, Kath, re-presented Derek
Harvey with a Nigel Hallard print the choir gave him in recognition of
his 70th anniversary with the choir. The inscription reads “Presented to
Derek by his fellow members of the Mousehole Male Voice Choir as a mark
of their affection and in recognition of his outstanding and remarkable
70 years of service to the choir.“ This was shortly after the choir had
reassembled after the Covid related lay off at Paul Church to restart
indoor choir practices. Derek’s family were also present and his
daughter Jane said “It felt a real honour and quite emotional to be
there and watch the spontaneous reaction, with the clapping and standing
ovation for him. It was a real boost for him, he came home buzzing!”
Kath
also presented Steve Lawry, our MD, with a beautiful framed photograph
of Newlyn, in recognition of the outstanding contribution he has made in
keeping the choir together via Zoom during the last eighteen months of
the the pandemic. For the choir, Monday night was and is music night!
Thank you Steve those Zoom practices are beginning to pay off!
