Graham Grimsley

Treasurer

I joined Coalville Male Voice Choir in January 2016. Four years later, I was asked to become the Treasurer, a role that I have had the privilege to hold ever since. Meeting the choir every Thursday evening is something I look forward to each week. They are a great set of lads and somehow we manage to make a great sound together. Long may it last.
