As the headline suggests, it was quite amusing to see them squeezing their heads into the caps. Rugby players are on the whole rather large chaps! |

Our Choir features in British newspaper
From London's Evening Standard last night (Tuesday 6 September) - City of Dunedin Choir singing 'God Save the Queen'. Yes, that's us behind the rugby players! Thanks to Lisa Evans (Tecwyn's sister) who sent us the clipping. Lee Mears and Lewis Moody look like they enjoy singing with us. Tom Palmer is not so sure he wants to be in the limelight!

Fantastic Rugby Welcomes
On Sunday 4 and Tuesday 6 September City of Dunedin Choir performed the national anthems at the Rugby World Cup Civic Welcomes for the Argentinian and the English rugby teams, in the Dunedin Town Hall. We received this letter of thanks from the DCC:
Goodie morning to you all!
WOW! What a fantastic welcome we have given our first two teams and I cannot thank you enough for your part in making all of this the great success it has been. Please pass on my thanks to all of your team involved, they were fantastic!
The feedback from both teams, media and public has been nothing short of outstanding and the England Manager commented after that he has never received such a personal welcome as he compared our welcome to other World Cups!
It has been an absolute pleasure working with you all. Once again, thanks so much!
All the best

We were delighted to take part in these ceremonies and enjoyed the opportunity to get so close to some of the best rugby players in the world!
