The group are delighted to have yet another 'first time achievement' in 2008 by recording Singing for Pleasure Favourties CD.  SFP had talked of recording a cd for some time, but after the exciting adventure to London 'Last Choir Standing' competition, Tutor Elsie Normington announced that the time was now ripe to record all their favourite songs. Friend and  Volunteer Chris McMillan gave his time freely to record and sound engineer the whole cd and the group acknowledge greatful thanks for all his patience, time and effort.  100 copies of the CD were sold in the first week of the launch.
