On the following pages you can find information on our activities, current and past, along with an opportunity to join the Association if you were a member of any of the Cathedral’s Choirs or pupil of the former Chester Cathedral Choir School.

It is that time of the year when we turn our thoughts to our Annual Reunion Day which is to be held on 9th November 2024.

The arrangements for the Reunion Day are as follows:

12;00 – 13:00 AGM (in old Choir School). Assembly location to be advised shortly.
13:00 – 13:30 Refreshments
13:30 – 14:30 Tour of Choir School buildings
16:15 – 17:00 Evensong and procession to Memorial Window

· Preces & Responses: Matthew Martin

· Jackson in G

· Greater Love hath no man – John Ireland

· At the memorial window: Psalm 121

We want to provide our members with memorable events and can only do that with your support!

Here’s the link to the 2023 Reunion day Evensong. Our numbers were better than expected, and we had a positive and productive AGM. We even had a member join us from Texas!

Thanks to those who sang at the memorial at 11:00 and thanks to Philip Rushforth and the choir for the wonderful singing at Evensong. We would like to welcome Canon Rosie Woodall to the Association as one of our Vice-Presidents!
