THE NEW HORIZON SINGERS

All donations The New Horizon Singers receive go towards our chosen charity.

Now in it's sixth year, we are continuing our support of

Somerset Unit for Radiotherapy Equipment.

The charity's aim is to raise Ł600,000 for a simulator in a non-surgical cancer unit at Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton, Somerset.

On behalf of S.U.R.E., Mr Eric Saffin is pictured receiving yet another cheque for Ł3,000 from

choir members Bonnie Lane and Jan Payne.

Bringing our total now raised for S.U.R.E. to Ł13,000 overall this was a delightful way

to close to the 2006/7 season .

Although we very much enjoy performing our many concerts each season, The New Horizon Singers are very keen to continue in their support of local residential care homes and societies in Taunton and surrounding area who also value our contributions and donate to our chosen charities.

The beginning of the 2007/8 season was indeed a very busy one and lists the following activities:

Eight performances at residential care homes,

Two evening group performances,

Contemplate for Cancer (a favourite with choir members), and

Carols in Vivary Park.

This was in addition to our very successful Christmas Concert and all before Christmas! Phew!

After a well-deserved summer break, The New Horizon Singers wasted no time in getting the 2006/7 season underway when we performed A Choral Concert in aid of 'Taunton Deane Association for Neighbourhood Care' on Friday, 13th October 2006 at St. James' Church, Taunton, Somerset.

This was followed by 'Choirs in Contrast' on Saturday 28th October 2006 at our usual venue of St. James' and was very well supported by the puplic with well over 100 in the audience! Raising Ł1,074, the evening was a resounding success and our grateful thanks go to our hosts Taunton Barbershop Chorus - The Rivertones who covered all the evening's expenses, and Castle School for their enthusiastic rendering of traditional African songs.

Our 'Celebration of Christmas' Concert on Wednesday 13th December 2006 did indeed give us good reason to celebrate, being the highest fundraiser of our Christmas Concerts - a staggering Ł697!

The New Horizon Singers were delighted to be able to keep our promise of the previous season and return to perform another concert at West Monkton Village Hall on Friday, 5th March 2007.

Supporting the local branch of S.U.R.E., the evening raised another Ł367.85.

On 24th March 2007 we joined the Taunton Deane Male Voice Choir once again performing a concert in aid of Cancer Research UK. This was then followed on Saturday 14th April in The Albermarle Centre, Taunton but this time raising funds for Guide Dogs for the Blind. We also contributed to the Sing Sankey event at Queens College.

Bringing another successful season to a close the 'New Horizon Singers' Summer Concert' was on 11th July 2007. Joined by the Mayor and Mayoress of Taunton Deane, Councillor Ken Hayward and his wife Mary plus Eric and Sonja Saffin as well as other representatives of S.U.R.E., we were absolutely delighted to present yet another cheque for Ł3,000 bringing our total donated to date to an amazing Ł13,000 overall!
