Armistice Day

Remebrance Sunday 2007

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, the Great War ended. Civilians wanted to remember the people who had given their lives for peace and freedom. An American War Secretary, Moina Michael, began selling poppies to friends to raise money for the ex-Service community. And so the tradition began.


Raising money though poppies is an easy way to do your bit for those who have served and are currently serving in the British Armed Forces, and their dependants. The money you raise will go towards supporting those who have been prepared to make a personal sacrifice through serving in the British Armed Forces.

Holburn West Choir 2007-2008

Sopranos
Yvonne Bain, Margaret Bille, Penny Mutch and Sheila Smith.

Altos
Joyce Cormack, Jennifer Risk, Celia Walker and Verna Ward.

Tenors
Martin Birnie, Hugh Kerr, Alastair McKelvie and Hamish Mitchell.

Basses
David Kelman, Sandy McDonald, Callum Neilson and George Ritchie.

The Choir Session 07/08 was different from years past. We continued to lead the worship at every Sunday, sing an anthem every Sunday and have a rehearsal every Thursday, but we only put on one concert; the Festival of Five Lessons Carols and Mince Pies. Why? Because this year Holburn West Choir expanded its repertoire more than before, and focused its energy on providing the congregation of Holburn West with weekly anthems of the highest quality. Notibly the Choir performed Solus ad Victimam by Leighton on Palm Sunday; an anthem which took weeks of rehearsal and took its toll on the Choir and myself, but in the end was performed tremendously.

Sadly the year was also marked by the death of long standing tenor in the choir, Mr David Parkinson. David had been ill and unable to attend rehearsals for the last year, but he will be remembered as always bringing a dry sense of humour to every choir rehearsal, and for never failing to make us laugh. R.I.P.

As usual, the year would not have been possible without the unfailing help of a number of people for their support, advice and kindness. To them, I am eternally grateful.

The Choir session will re-commence in September and I look forward to rehearsals starting again.
