Preparing for Christmas concert
Members of the recently-formed Bideford Choral Society under their conductor Mr T. Arundel-Timms (music master at Bideford Secondary Modern School), are busy practising for their singing of Handel’s Messiah which they plan to give in Bideford Parish Church shortly before Christmas.
At present the choir numbers about 30, but it increases every week. ‘I am very well satisfied with the response,’ said Mr Arundel-Timms, who also praised the enthusiastic work of the choir.
