I have created this little blog as a means to share photos and memories from a fabulous concert on 23rd February 2008. Hope you enjoy them - as I get more pictures over the next week or so I will post them. Thank you to all who made the concert such a success, especially the men of Bournemouth, Solent, Harlandic, Dorset Police, Casterbridge and Rushmoor Oddfellow Male Choirs, who sang their hearts out!

I must echo Mark's comments; it was a truly marvellous event, enjoyed by all who took part! I know that my men from Rushmoor had a great time, and had been looking forward to it since last February at Christchurch!
It was a privilege to be asked to be Assistant Festival Director and a privilege to work with you all.
Hopefully it will not be long before we meet again!
STEVE.
Congratulations to everyone involved for a great Concert! Special thanks must go to all the MDs, especially Mark Burstow for his vision , drive and commitment to turn a dream into a sparkling reality, enjoyed by so many! So much work also goes on behind the scenes, with many people involved, but I must pick out Brian Miles Sec.,Brian Munday Concert Sec and our Chairman Peter Thomas for all their hard work, not forgetting all the accompanists, WELL DONE EVERYONE WHO PLAYED A PART IN MAKING IT SUCH A WONDERFUL EVENING!
