CHAIR: RICHARD FOULGER

Richard has been a member of the choir since its inception in 1991, he acted as master of ceremonies for a number of years and also as vice-chair. He took over as Chair in January 2017.

 

Richard admits he has no real musical background and that he has learned about singing four part harmony in the choir by listening to others and being encouraged by the friendly and supportive nature of Invicta Singers. He has also formed part of a Barbershop Quartet with three other choir members.

 

Richard retired from the London Borough of Bromley in 2010 where he was Assistant Director with responsibility for Community Safety and Public Protection. Since then he has committed time to volunteering with the Pilgrims Hospice in Ashford, playing golf (badly) and helping, with others, to ensure Ashford Invicta Singers continues to be guided by our aims of:-

·         expanding involvement in singing in the Ashford area by encouraging participation from all parts of the community,

·         raising money for charities and good causes,

·         making new friends, and

·         always having plenty of fun!
