Malcolm Valentin’s Choir Memories 1950’s

· Every Sunday! Pay was abysmal – except for weddings!

· My mother, brother David, sister Christine and I were part of the warbling lot.

· Mr Miller also choir member

· Reg Kift on the organ.

· Vicar was Rev. Phillips had two daughters both very talented, one Margaret who went on to relative fame as an organist.

· Father was on the PCC and treasurer.

Excerpt from Sally Wilkinson nee Clark’s Personal Memories  

Another great friend was Valerie Davison from Heart’s Delight Road. We were in Borden church choir together with Gillian Kift, whose father was the organist. We were rewarded for going to church and also the choir practice 2d each time! Rev. Philips was the Vicar.
