RED ROSETTES LADIES’ CHOIR
Leyland Rotary is delighted to be able to support Leyland-based, award-winning ladies’ show choir, the Red Rosettes, as they represent the UK at a competition in Sweden in May 2025. President Jim went along to meet them and present them with a donation.
In 2024 the Red Rosettes won the title of Lancashire Choir of the Year and came third in Europe. This resulted in them being invited to represent the UK at the competition in Sweden.
The choir welcomes members from all backgrounds and their ages range from 14-84. This means not all members can afford the cost of the flight and accommodation so they have been setting their own challenges to raise funds in order that as many members as possible can share in the excitement of representing the UK and Leyland.
Further information about the Red Rosettes can be found on their website http://www.theredrosettes.co.uk/about/
