MEMBERS of Peeblesshire's very own community choir proved they are as good at pouring and baking as they are at performing in concert halls.

InChorus collected more than £1400 at their recent fundraising coffee morning during Beltane Week in the Ex-Servicemen's Club.

As well as refreshments and home baking the event also had a music stall, jewellery and bric-a brac, hand crafted cards, plants, and, for the kids and young at heart, face and rock painting.

There was also a huge raffle, tombola, and even a quiz.

Choir manager Lorna Turnbull told the Peeblesshire News: “Enormous thanks to all the people who came along and made this such a great success.

"InChorus never takes the support we receive from Peebles for granted.

"It is always thoroughly appreciated. For our part, we hope to continue to entertain the community whenever possible.”

Throughout the morning the gentlemen of the choir served the coffees and teas.

And during intervals the entire choir performed - giving a first airing to some of their new songs.

Visitors were treated to the choir’s rendition of ‘Dancing in the Street’ which the choir had just recorded in preparation for their community involvement project in the Peebles Creative Festival at the end of August.
