The Choir has enjoyed a longstanding, close relationship with the Pembroke Refinery. We are extremely grateful for the generous support and sponsorship provided by the previous owners, Texaco and Chevron, from 1988 to 2011.
We now look forward to a rewarding partnership with Valero Energy Ltd, the new owners from August 2011.
Ladies Support Group
The choir is fortunate to have a ladies support group which makes an invaluable contribution to the funds and morale of the choir.

What can the Choir offer a Sponsor?
As a full choir we stage up to 100 choristers. We can reduce this number at smaller venues, by using our local music learning groups. Our sponsors financially support the whole concert, or maybe provide sponsorship for a page in the programme.
Our full colour concert programme is an ideal vehicle to feature a Sponsor. The business activities of the company, along with logos and pictures can be prominently displayed. Mention is included on our website and added to concert flyers and posters which are circulated far and wide. Our events are given wide publicity with TV, radio and press coverage whenever possible. Sponsors are always mentioned during the concert.
We work closely with our sponsors and try to accommodate all their needs.
STOP PRESS!
