Another post shows four choristers being presented with the Choir’s long service and lifetime achievement awards at the end of the Gala concert. There are also a number of unsung heroes who do tremendous work and show outstanding commitment to the choir who often go unrecognised outside the choir circle.
It is with great pleasure that one of these, David Kirton has been presented with a Caldicot Citizenship award in recognition of his huge contribution and efforts to assist Caldicot Male Voice Choir. David has not only been the voluntary licencee of the choir bar but in his 26 years membership of the choir he has also provided outstanding service in addition as hall manager and transport manager. Without David’s involvement and time spent the Choir and its hall would be hard pressed to function.
David has also been recognised for giving up his spare time to drive voluntarily for Monmouthshire County Council’s Grass Roots bus service on several days of the week, a service much appreciated by many of the vulnerable and elderly people he helps.
Well done, David. This award is richly deserved and may I on behalf of the Choir also thank you for all your achievements.
The photograph shows David being presented with his award by Caldicot Mayor Phillip Stevens and Deputy Mayor Oliver Edwards. Oliver is also a bottom bass chorister in the Choir and recently toured with us to Scotland.
