The Formby Festival -a great success

The Formby Festival was a great success. I was invited by the Parish Council to help judge the school choir competition. It was a very difficult task. I was delighted to see that there was a panel of judges. It soon became clear that we had all focussed in on two choirs: Freshfields and Our Lady's. The organisers took away our score sheets to tot them up. It seemed to take a long time and reason became clear when they emerged from their tent. Marking separately the judges had independently scored the two top choir with identical marks. Congratulations to both choirs
