Cor Meibion blazers going for a song!


Step right up, ladies and gentlemen . . . maroon blazers, more than 60 very careful users – and they’re all going for a song!
Cor Meibion Llanelli (Llanelli Male Voice Choir) members are making a massive wardrobe change.
And they are looking for a home for their old blazers.
“We are making changes to our ‘uniform’,” choir secretary Fred Elias said.
“The maroon blazers have served us well over the years, but it is time for a change. So they are on their way out of our wardrobe.
“The blazers, which bear the choir crest, are still in good condition, however, and it seems a shame to see them going to the bin or recycling centre
“So we wondered whether there were any other groups or organisations out there who might be able to make good use of them?
“In total, we have more than 60 blazers and they still have plenty of years use left in them.
“They do, of course, come in varying sizes – from the smallest first tenor to the biggest second bass!
“We are quite happy to give them free of charge to a good home, so anyone interested in taking them off our hands should give us a ring.”
Mr Elias added, “We had thought of putting them on ebay, but we are keen that local organisations get the first chance of picking up the jackets.”
“Sadly, we cannot guarantee that wearing the blazers will automatically turn you into a top class first tenor,” joked Mr Elias.
If you are interested in the blazers, then please contact choir secretary Fred Elias on Llanelli (01554) 741027.
Meanwhile, Mr Elias also made a call for young men to join the choir, which travels throughout the world.
"Don't think a male voice choir is just a bunch of old guys having a sing-song. We thoroughly enjoy our singing. It takes us to places all over UK and the world," he said.
"The social side of the choir is great fun. The sense of friendship and fellowship you get in a male voice choir cannot be beaten anywhere.
"So, our message to the young men of Llanelli is, please don't be shy. Pop along to a rehearsal at Furnace Community Hall (7pm on Mondays and Thursdays) to see what we are all about.
"Being a member of a choir as prestigious as Côr Meibion Llanelli is a great life experience."
Anyone interested in the blazers, or joining the choir, should contact choir secretary Fred Elias on Llanelli 01554 741027.
