Beach Haven Carollers 35th Year

Colin from Beach Haven

The last 2 venues for this year are at Bert Sutcliffe Retirement Village on Monday, 16th and The Orchards on Thursday, 19th. It's been a great journey.
This year marks 35 years of spreading Christmas cheer by the Beach Haven Carollers. Over this time the group, organised by Beach Haven resident Colin Campbell, has been presenting quality performances in venues including retirement villages, hospitals, shopping malls, rest homes, at community and schools’ end of year functions and even dance venues.
Interesting arrangements of traditional Carols are rehearsed and performed as well as some “extras” like “Silver Bells”.
The group consists of about 22 members who have opera, choral and theatrical backgrounds as well as others who simply just want to spread Christmas joy.
It’s been a lot of fun and certainly very rewarding. The effort of giving of one’s precious time in the demanding month of December can be challenging but therein lies the message of Christmas.
