THE MURCH Junior School choir entertained at the Dinas Powys Voluntary Concern Christmas Coffee Morning last week.

The coffee morning raised a total of £185 for local beneficiaries. The audience enjoyed what could be one of the the last public performances of the choir under its present name, with the school set to merge with the Infant School at the start of next term.

Chair of DPVC Councillor John Fanshaw said, “The Murch School has been faithful supporters of our events and we are confident of developing a good relationship with the new school.

"This is the last such event for 2014 but DPVC will restart its events on January 12 with the DPVC Community Club holding a games afternoon in the Lee Hall, Britway Road, starting at 1.30 pm. Transport can be arranged."

He added: "We are developing the programme for the next 12 months and welcome old and new friends to our activities.

"We have a thriving team of volunteers but could always benefit from more supporters. If you have a bit of free time please let us know. Our contact details are 02920 51 3700. Email dpvc@btinternet.com"
