THE new Hatherleigh Gospel Choir is going from strength to strength, following its creation last October.

Led by Jon Bint, the group sang at the 24-hour carol-a-thon in Hatherleigh on December 21, organised by fundraiser Gemma Collier.

The group is preparing for its next public performance at Hatherleigh Parish Church on March 18, Mothering Sunday.

The group currently has 14 members, but is always on the lookout for new members.

Anyone interested in taking part is welcome to attend the choir's meetings on Wednesdays in Old Schools at 7.30pm. For more details call Sandra Collier on 01837 810042.
