IN AID of the Mayor of Guildford’s Christmas Relief
Fund, and under the auspices of the Guildford Rotary
Club, the Guildford Festival Choir invites you to join
with them in singing Christmas Carols in the
METHODIST CHURCH, NORTH STREET,
ON
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17th at 7.30 p.m.
This community singing of Carols—it will not be
a choir recital—will take the place of the carol singing
in previous years on the steps of Holy Trinity Cathedral.
It is hoped that the people of Guildford will come and
enjoy this Christmas Music and, at the same time, help
to give a substantial sum to the Mayor's Relief Fund.
There will be a silver collection.
