24/01/2010 VELVET HARMONY FOLDS 
At the club AGM on 12th January 2010, Velvet Harmony members voted to dissolve the club.
On 5th January 2010, at the first rehearsal of the new year, our Musical Director, Neil Watkins, announced his retirement from the chorus. He said that since his cancer surgery in 2008 he had found it increasingly difficult to maintain the stamina necessary for a two and a half hour rehearsal plus all the other commitments. After nearly ten years with the chorus he found the decision really hard to make but it had become unavoidable. His wife, Kay, the Assistant Director and Lead Section Leader, also announced her resignation saying that the long journey would be too difficult for her to make without Neil to share the driving.

As a result, the following week on 12th January 2010 which was the club A.G.M. and after considerable discussion, the members voted to dissolve the club.
