The Choir has developed a considerable social aspect over the years.  One of the associated activities is the support of local sports teams - including  Nottingham Rugby, the Forest & County soccer teams, and the very successful Notts County Cricket Club.

Other activities include social golf events, (some members belonging to the Radcliffe GC), a weekly walking group, lawn bowls, both indoor and outdoor, and  twice yearly off-shore sailing weeks, most recently (July 2010), to the Mazurian Lake District of NE Poland.

  Associated activities of the Radcliffe MV Choir.

Also enjoyed are social events with wives and partners, not least those associated with choir tours whether they be a week to Rome, as in September 2008, (See ROME), or  a weekend  away in this country, e.g. the Choir  travelled for a long weekend (9-11 April) to South Wales, during which 3 concerts were performed and a  most enjoyable time had by all. For fotos of this weekend click on WALES TOUR.

Evening events include our Annual Dinner, the most recent of which was held on the 28th November 2009. For views of this event go to ANNDINNER.

You may have heard the BBC’s second series of “The Choir” with the charismatic Gareth Malone, more recently creating the South Oxhey Community Choir.   Go to the  website bbc.co.uk/sing for this  project and their ideas on other pleasures and possible activities associated with singing.
