Sharon Markham, who presented the cheque with fellow Music Maker Nicola O’Neill, said: “We put on about three shows a year and we recently performed at the Queens’ Theatre in Hornchurch, and we’ll be back there again in July.”
The concerts were held in the memory of the club’s founding members, Maurice and Eileen Williams, at St Michaels Church in Gidea Park and all the music performed had previously been sung by them.
