The main benefit of membership is the Association’s aim of financially supporting the choir of Winchester Cathedral, including the Three Choirs Festival when held every three years at Winchester. In addition, regular Summer and Christmas meetings are held at Pilgrims School providing an opportunity to meet fellow OC’s, and participate in Cathedral Tours, sing at an Evensong, Dinners at Pilgrims, and preferential seating at the Carol Service. After the successful OC’s concert of April 2017, it is hoped to stage the event every 18 months which is a most enjoyable opportunity. This is a concert performed entirely by the OC’s with the Organist’s help. You can imagine how vital the old Girl Choristers are in that event!
