INGLEWOOD Community Choir hopefuls have put away the music.
Efforts of previous members of the Goldfields Choir have failed to create a new choir with the small group opting to halt the initiative.
One, of them, Duncan Campbell, said they had been unable to muster numbers needed for a sustainable chour. He said choir numbers in the district had declined since COVID 19 and “despite efforts to create a new choir with the support of Inglewood Community Centre, the lack of members has called time on the choir as they made the decision to disband”. 
The Goldfields Choir was an important part of the local community since 2002 and sang at many towns and churches in the Loddon Shire Council area as well as being part of concerts from Wangaratta to Lorne. 
Highlights of the choir included concerts in Bendigo and  awarded joint Northern Victoria Champion Choir in 2004.
Former members will have a farewell function next month.
