GOOD LUCK to Elsie Pinder on reaching the age of 90 at St Sampson’s Centre (The Press, December 13).

I also joined their choir 18 years ago. We had the same choirmaster as All Saints Church Choir, but St Sampson’s music was a lot easier than having to learn a new church routine every week.

I hadn’t quite made it to 60 in those days, but I used to tinkle the old piano at the centre for an hour every Monday, between part-time jobs, so they let me join the choir.

The centre’s manager said their magazine’s photograph of the choir was on the shelves of York Library for a time, but all the shelves are empty now while someone thinks of what to fill them with.
