Skilled choristers receive exam medals at Sunday service


SIX choristers from St Helen's CE Church, Waddington, have received medals after passing recent examinations taken at Bradford Cathedral. On Sunday morning, the vicar, the Rev. Alan G. Bailey, presented


the singers with their medals. Mr Alan Horsey, the organist and


master of the choir at Bradford Cathedral, had conducted the examinations, which consisted of practical tests on the singing of hymns, psalms, anthems and solos,


as well as sight singing and oral tests. Candidates were also exam­


ined on their knowledge of the theo­ ry of music, the liturgy of the Anglican Church and set Bible


studies. The successful candidates were: Ruth Holland (12), Lucie Jones (12),


Ella McIntosh (13) and Robert Stead (11), who became provost's choristers. Kate Gooding and Thomas Stead (both 13) gained the highest diocesan award of bishop's
