North Staffs Choirs Map
Here’s a great map.
Each choir has a pin to show the location\venue.
It includes some additional choirs outside the Stoke on Trent area and some which might be more formal than the average community choir (e.g. need to read music).
Slide the little window top left to select\deselect days.
Some venues are used by more than one choir – there’s a separate pin for each; you might need to zoom in to see them.
Grey pins are sessions which have probably ceased\there’s no current information.
