Chipping Norton and District Choral Society (Chippy Choir to its friends) exists to provide amateur singers the chance to sing varied choral works together in a friendly environment.  Members of the Society will testify that striving to improve musical ability does not have to temper the enjoyment of the music being sung.  Many will additionally testify that a post-rehearsal pint at the local hostelry nicely soothes the vocal chords, especially after one of those fiendish pieces with high notes in. 
 
A more formal declaration of purpose and related matters can be found in the Society's Constitution, the current version of which can be seen here (you'll need Adobe Reader to be able to open 'pdf' files - you can download this, free, from here). 
 
The Society's Committee exists to allow the Society to undertake its purpose effectively, by ensuring the smooth running of the Society's rehearsals, concerts, finances and administration.  Currently (February 2007), the Committee consists of:
There is also a Music Committee which considers and selects our musical programme.  This consists of:
Volunteers to assist with this work are always welcome - if you would like to help, please speak to any Committee member. 
 
Officers and members of the Committee can be approached at any time with questions, comments or suggestions regarding the Society: in addition, the Committee reports formally to the Society members once a year at the Annual General Meeting.  The AGM is usually held in the latter half of a rehearsal towards the end of September.  The minutes of the last AGM (2006) can be viewed here ; the minutes of the 2005 AGM can be viewed here.
