Singing &


for Life!


Here’s a date for those new 2017 diaries and calendars!


On 4th March at 7.00pm, the hugely popular Bournemouth Male Voice Choir and Sway Handbell Ringers are returning to give another concert at All Saints’ Church, Milford‐on‐Sea; this me for Mission Aviaon Fellowship and The Libra Foundaon. Many of you will remember a packed church for the choir’s last visit in February 2014, the day aer the great storm! It was truly an evening to remember but we are aiming to surpass the £2,600 raised on that occasion.


The Bournemouth Male Voice Choir is an accomplished, award winning group of men of all ages, led by their energec and charismac conductor, Mark Burstow, who has brought male voice singing into the 21st century. The choir has an extensive and varied repertoire of music ranging from classical composers such as Poulenc and Mendelssohn, through jazz and music from the shows to modern film music and boy band numbers. Whenever the BMVC give a performance, the joy of singing shines through and the audience is always totally

engaged with the music. The BMVC is commied to charity work and has a very full diary of engagements both locally and further afield.


Supporng the choir at this concert are the popular Sway Handbell Ringers, directed by Kate Hanks. This compeon winning group of ringers use a 3 octave set of handbells (55 bells) and also handchimes. Like the choir, the Sway ringers try to include as many different styles of music as possible. The excellent acouscs at All Saints’ Church, Milford, enable bell ringing to be heard at its best. If you have never heard tune ringing on bells before, this is a great opportunity.


We are supporng two wonderful charies and aim to donate well over £1000 to each of them. MAF is a team of dedicated aviaon professionals who deal with challenges due to isolaon, in some of the world’s poorest communies. MAF is making a global impact by giving medical assistance, disaster response, community development and church support. Their moo is ‘Flying for Life’. Maintaining and fuelling the planes and providing trained pilots, engineers and medical staff needs connual funding and your aendance at this concert will not only give you immense pleasure but will also bring hope, help and healing to communies in some of the remotest parts of the world.


The Libra Foundaon takes UK students out to Romania every year, to work in residenal centres with children from Roma communies as well as other underprivileged Romanian children. Their vision is of a more integrated Romanian society that celebrates the diversity and promotes the equality, of its people. There is an increasing emphasis on training Romanian volunteers so that the work is sustainable. The projects are enjoyable, therapeuc and educaonal for the Romanian children. At the same me the UK students, who volunteer on the projects, grow and flourish and their experiences help equip them for varied careers and livelihoods.


In 2014 over 200 ckets for the concert were pre‐sold, so to make sure you are not disappointed, do buy yours in advance.


Tickets are £10 each and can be obtained from Milford Community Centre from 1st February onwards. The price of the cket will include a glass of wine or fruit juice.


Any remaining ckets will be available, on the door, from 6.15pm on the day of the concert.
