MIKE 'Mr G' GENDERS is our musical Director and usually Chairs the meetings.

Mike is responsible for choosing the songs we sing and developing our general repertoire. 

NEIL & ROSEMARY GENDERS otherwise known as Mr & Mrs 'G' senior. Neil is the proud father of our Musical Director and also Treasurer for ACC/ELS. Rosemary is described by Mike as "my step-mother - she's wicked"  which makes her the wicked stepmother! She also looks after the refreshment needs at choir practices, making sure of supplies and enough hot water to serve up the drinks  as quickly as possible.

MARY GREEN "I am retired and have been with the choir since it started. Recently I have begun to take over the secretarial role. I love singing and am delighted to be with such a varied and enthusiastic group of people. I have also enjoyed working with a small group  at The Lawns residential home. I admire the work being done by ELS in schools, and think as a group we can contribute a lot to the life of our area – and have fun."

DAVE MAXTED "I have been in the choir since 2009. I am pleased to be a Committee Member and to have a practical role within the choir. I help ensure we have the correct words both onscreen and in written format as well as helping with the projection. I also ensure that the seating is properly organized, with sufficient in each section: soprano, alto, tenor & bass. I like most of the music we sing, but have a 60's and Gospel style bias. I am impressed by the 'community' and 'family' aspects of both ACC and ELS."

HILARY BOYCE "I have been a member of the choir for two years (since 2009) having previously never sung in an organised group before. It really is a joy to sing with such a wonderful, friendly group of people and never fails to send me home feeling happy. We welcome new members of all abilities to just come along and have some fun."

LINDA SMITH joined the core working group to support Mike and Co in what is obviously a successful venture. "The choir is a wonderful opportunity to  join together to share the pleasure of singing whatever your ability. An added bonus is joining in with other groups to give performances benefiting all. Although I have no specific job in the working group I feel I represent the view of the ordinary member of the choir and am always available and approachable if members want subjects brought up for discussion."
