KEY OF G COMMUNITY POP CHOIR
The Key Community Choir is for anyone who loves to sing and socialise! We rehearse on Tuesday Evenings 7-8:30pm at Flockton Church and at Emley church the first Tuesday of the month.
There’s no audition required or prior experience or reading music. We sing a range of popular music and some musical theatre, with many suggestions coming from the choir themselves. It’s a very relaxed musical atmosphere for all ages- families and carers with children are welcome to join the families that already attend. So if you fancy coming along and having a sing get in touch or just pop along on a Tuesday evening for community, fun and music! 🎶
Get in touch through Key of G on 07587 707014

We were disappointed when Julie Taylor from AGE UK was unable to join us in September, so are really pleased that we have been able to re-arrange her visit to this date. Please come along and meet Julie and find out more about AGE UK
“Hello, my name is Julie Taylor Client Liaison for Age UK Calderdale & Kirklees. My role
involves visiting older people in their homes who have been referred into us and to explain what services we offer as well as external services that may be beneficial and I help
set up these services to help maintain their independence. I also am a Dementia facilitator and
run a therapy group for people with low to moderate dementia to help maintain their cognitive skills.
I am looking forward to seeing you at The Pavilion in September, where I can talk to you about a wide range of services and support Age UK Calderdale & Kirklees provide to older people and their carers in the local community.
In the meantime, I would like to share with you about our new Cuppa Club, which is held every second Wednesday of the month in the Packhorse Shopping Centre in Huddersfield a partnership we have with Huddersfield Bid and The Packhorse Centre.
A free monthly meet - up (old Peters unit) promoting friendship and community in Huddersfield free hot drinks and entertainment”
