Farewell to Robyn Beesley

Robyn has made the big decision to leave the chorus so that she and husband Bob can have more time together travelling Australia in their caravan. We will certainly miss her but wish her well!

Robyn writes ....I have had an amazing time being part of the WHC family and really appreciate all the warmth and friendship shown to me. I have always marvelled at how well such a large group of women get along and care for each other. It must be the common goal of singing that lifts the spirits and creates harmony. I also think Jan has a lot to do with it. She is so generous with her time,

especially with the small groups and teaches so much in a fun and positive way. I will certainly

miss you all but hope to attend performances when I can.

Terri writes ..... We will certainly miss our very own “Pocket Rocket/Energiser Bunny”

Robyn came into the Chorus in 2010 and has been actively involved from the beginning. Always smiling, always eager to lend a hand and talk to anyone and everyone. She served as a member of the Management Team in two different roles and performed both with enthusiasm and generosity, and, for the past couple of years she has organised the troops for a group donation at the Blood Bank (possibly the only time she could be found ‘lying around’) I’m sure those of us who listen to 97.3 ABC Illawarra recall Robyn’s jousting with the breakfast announcers when promoting our concerts on the Community Service Announcements between 6.35 and 7 am (even if like me, you heard them from the clock-radio while still tucked up in bed!!) Robyn gave us all a bit of a scare a few years back when helping out with a recruitment exercise in Wollongong City Mall. She almost lost a finger when the heavy door on the media booth outside DJ’s closed on her hand. That was one day when we were thankful to have the Emergency Medical forms readily available. We have all enjoyed Robyn’s mini muffins as well as her Traveller’s Tales from around Australia. Bob too, has been a valuable supporter of the Chorus being on the Riser Team roster for rehearsals and helping out with transport to Stanwell Tops, Kiama and the Regent Theatre.

The Chorus family wish Robyn and Bob safe travels and many happy years as 

Grey Nomads around our BIG country.
