26th January 2007

East Riding of Yorkshire Council's Chairman's Charity Appeal was boosted by over £1,000 following a successful choral evening held before Christmas.

The Chairman, Councillor Hilary Saynor, received the cheque from Council Leader, Stephen Parnaby, who organised the choral evening, and Simon Taylor, Managing Director of TAS Communications, who agreed to sponsor the event.

Councillor Saynor said:  "This is an extremely significant contribution to my Charity Appeal, which is in aid of the East Riding Youth Orchestra and Kings Mill Special School, Driffield.  I want to thank Councillor Parnaby for all his efforts, Simon for his generous sponsorship, and the Beverley Male Voice Choir for their delightful singing."

The choral evening was held at the Beverley Leisure Complex on Friday 8 December 2006 and the Beverley Male Voice Choir entertained civic dignitaries from all over the region, along with councillors, officers, and supporters of the Choir.  Councillor Parnaby said:  "It was a tremendous evening, enjoyed by everyone and I am delighted that we also raised a substantial sum for the Chairman's Charity Appeal."

Simon Taylor, said:  "We are always happy to help local charities and we were pleased to be involved on this occasion."
