On Thursday 17th April 1997 the choir were presented with the Pat Devereux Cup for Outstanding Contribution to the Arts in the Borough of Rushmoor. The presentation was made by Councillor Pat Devereux who was the outgoing mayor at the time, during the incumbent (Councillor Maurice Banner) Mayor’s Gala Charity Concert at the Princes Hall Aldershot, and it was accepted by our then Musical Director Colin Wilson on behalf of the choir.
