Minutes:

Barnsley Youth Choir

 

The Director of Legal and Governance, on behalf of the Chief Executive, was pleased to report that the Barnsley Youth choir had recently represented Great Britain at the European Choir Games in Magdeburg, Germany and won three Gold Medals in the Jazz and Pop Section, the Gospel and Spiritual Section and the Grand Prix of Nations.

 

Unfortunately no one was able to be present from the Choir in the Council Chamber this morning because of the school holidays.  This was, however, a fantastic and outstanding achievement.  Barnsley’s young people had not only made Barnsley proud but had made Great Britain proud.

 

The Mayor and Members of the Council expressed, in the usual manner, their congratulations to all involved in this excellent achievement.
