Welcome

Welcome to our blog!

The Tiffin Boys' Choir are about to embark on a two-week tour of New Zealand, singing in the Cathedrals of Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin and Christchurch, as well as Wellington's Michael Fowler Centre and St Andrew's Church, Taupo. Along the way, we will be hosted by members of the Kotuku Choir, the congregation of Wellington Cathedral, and by students and families from Christ's College, Christchurch.

We have been staggered by the amount of support we have received from individual donors, local businesses, trust foundations, and arts organisations - to all of you, a big thank you! This blog is a way of keeping in touch with you while we are away: the boys themselves will be posting their experiences every two or three days, and we hope it will prove to be an enjoyable read....

Further information about the choir and the tour can be found on our website, www.tiffinboyschoir.org.uk.

Finally, we are getting ever closer to our target of £15,000. If you are able to contribute, please use the Justgiving site - every amount helps, and makes a big difference.
