Singers from York Opera getting in tune for 5k charity run


These singers from York Opera are taking part in R U Taking The P – the 5K run in aid of prostate and male cancers to be held in Rowntree Park, York.

The singing six will actually be strolling round belting out a few tunes from Ruddigore.

York Opera will be performing the Gilbert & Sullivan operetta in October at York Theatre Royal, but these men wanted to show their support for this event and what better way than singing for their sponsorship.

Co-organiser Brian Hughes: “I had hoped that I could get up to 1,000 men to sign up for this very important cause. Up to now I have only had 80 forms returned and the deadline for entries is Sunday, June 6.”

The run takes place on Sunday, June 20, at 10am.

To take part phone Brian on 01904 656427 or download a form from yorkknavesmireharriers.co.uk
