Along with many social groups holding similar views, Pembroke and District Male Voice Choir were very reluctant eviction casualties of the council's decision to close the Coronation School Adult Education Centre in Meyrick Street, Pembroke Dock. The choir practice rooms were well-loved for their size, their acoustics, the sense of history contained, and the store of memorabilia held there. The decision to evict required the choir to find another home for rehearsal and for pianos, filing cabinets, memorabilia et al. The Blue School headmaster, governors and staff came to the rescue initially with the offer of the school's main hall. The choir were, and remain so today, thankful for that generous gesture and began a new stage in their life. Over time, though, the choir came to realise some of the disadvantages of the hall with regard to practice and rehearsal. As clean, modern and excellent as the facilities were, the choir found it a very difficult venue in which to sing. The cavernous internal dimensions were simply not conducive to that most essential of tasks for choirs, rehearsal and practice. Happily for everyone, though, another benefactor appeared on the scene in the shape of the good people running and caring for St. Teilos Chapel at the bottom of Ferry Lane. A choir member may have been influential, but they are sworn to secrecy on the matter. It is never about what you know, but who! Tuesday, September 4, was the first practice in the new venue. It is sincerely hoped it is the first of an unending line. Possessing an intimate, homely, snug and unpretentious atmosphere, it seemed to fit the choir like the proverbial glove. The choir were a mite skittish initially, but occasional admonitions from Mrs. Lloyd brought order. It was evident the choir felt at home instantly and set to with a will to loosen the vocal chords after the fallow August period and in preparation for the concert with Mansfield MVC in Monkton Priory.
