Convention 2007

On October 27th we were delighted to be placed 4th at our annual LABBS competition in Bournemouth. We celebrated with a fantastic party at our hotel that evening, every member participating in a Royal Variety Show just for ourselves and our supporters. We entertained, laughed and sang until the early hours and all agreed that this was our best party yet!

2005 & 2006 The Weakest Link

Three members of GEM Connection entered the Weakest Link TV show in 2005 and 2006 in order to raise funds for the chorus. Although none were successful in doing so they all had great fun and enjoyed the experience. Towards the end of 2006 all were invited back to a special show. Here they are with the host Ann Robinson.
 

2005 USA Trip to Buffalo, New York

In September 2005 we were the guests of the Buffalo Gateway Ladies Barbershop Chorus. These wonderful women and their families hosted us in their homes and planned a fabulous week of outings, visits, social events and singing, culminating in a joint show entitled ’One Voice’, at which we were received with great acclaim. This was the most exciting event ever for the members of GEM Connection. We look forward to returning the hospitality of the Gateway Chorus in the future.
