It is with sadness that we announce the passing of one of our much loved members, Lance Howie. Lance had been a member of the choir since 1990 and was for a long period of time the Deputy Musical Director, leading the choir in many concerts, weddings and rehearsals. One notable role was when Lance deputised  for our then Musical Director Rodney Jones on a tour to Cardiff and ensured the choir sounded well and we performed well.
Lance was married to Verena, who sadly passed away in 2024. As a couple they were inseparable and were present at all choir functions and played a major role in the choir.
Lance's funeral will take place at Chester Crematorium on Friday 2nd October at 2pm.
Lance, you have been a stalwart and much loved member of the choir. Your presence will be sorely missed, Rest in Peace.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.
I have now been informed that the time of Lance's funeral has changed to 11:20am, with the date remaining the same Friday 2nd October.
