2007

May - BABS Convention was held at Scarborough for the first time - a delightful town and venue.
CCC were winners in the previous year so could not compete, but entertained the evening show-goers.

July - International Chorus Competition, Denver, Colorado USA, was our third trip to the International competition and CCC came 12th, achieving the highly coveted grade A ranking yet again.

September - Show, Court Theatre, Tring

December - Stoke - The Ceramic City Choir show was the last under the directorship of Paul Davies who had been MD since the formation of CCC in 1990, and while his 'hand over the baton' performance was full of emotion, the audience still enjoyed CCC at their best.
Later in the month CCC were pleased to appoint Bob Croft as their new MD and Simon Hilton as Deputy MD.

2006

May - BABS Convention, Harrogate, UK. CCC won its fourth BABS Chorus Championship
See a picture of the occasion in our gallery.

November - CCC attended the Dutch Association of Barbershop Singers (DABS) convention. Appearing as guests of DABS, Cambridge Chord Company mic-cooled their chorus competition and appeared on the Saturday night show. The warmth and appreciation shown by the DABS delegates will live long in the memory of CCC.

On the Sunday morning our Musical directing team of Paul Davies, Bob Croft and Simon Hilton gave a "Master Class" in Barbershop Singing for DABS delegates.
