riffons gathered in the Giltar Hotel, Tenby, on December 16, to celebrate the time Edward Barbieri has spent with the choir as its musical director.

During a most enjoyable evening, Edward was presented with a new music case to replace his old one, ready for his travels north of a couple of borders.

He will be much missed, but his training of the Griffons has been very productive indeed. Now he must learn to do it with a Scots accent!

Four days later, Edward was married and delighted Griffons send with Edward and Joanne love and good wishes for their new life together in Inverness.
