Further to the letter in last week’s Packet regarding the Harmony Choir unable to go to the Rugby club as usual on Christmas Eve.

I listened to the wonderful singing on Church Corner, but was unable to follow the singers through the town as usual so I only know what I was told by the wife of one of the singers, which was that they had been banned from singing further along the street, as they were accustomed to doing, but had to go down the quay.

Who makes these daft decisions? A lot of those men are no longer young and making them walk down and up again is ridiculous. Is someone trying to sabotage this lovely tradition and stop it altogether?

What could “they” do (whoever “they” are), if they all refused to comply and said ‘no, this is what we have always done’ and carried on as usual. “They” could hardly arrest them all. One and All?

The street is closed to traffic for that time so that isn’t a problem, (unless the council is losing parking fees?)
Yours sincerely,
