One of the keenest and most ambitious of amateur musical organisations is the Male Voice Choir of the L.N.E.R. Music Society. It consists of 400 voices drawn from every kind of railway worker-clerks, carriage builders, guards, drivers, etc. They come from all parts of the country : from Grimsby to Doncaster, Peterborough to Norwich, and Cambridge to London. Two big concerts are given every year in the provinces as well as an annual concert in London at Christmas. Each local section of the choir rehearses under its own conductor every week and then on the day of the concert, actually an hour before it starts, the combined sections of the choir have a short rehearsal under Leslie Woodgate. The orchestra of the L.N.E.R. Music Society consists of 100 instrumentalists, all of whom are amateur players.
