It’s a great scope. Unfortunately the Swarovski variable phone adapter doesn’t fit my iPhone 13 Pro. Confirmed by Swarovski! The adapter I want is only available in USA at the moment. (Ollin)

YES i forgot to add that too, my wife and daughter sail and i am also learning slowly.
Retired so alongside stalking and rough shooting I enjoy carp fishing, gardening and I volunteer with BloodBikes. Keeps me, mostly, out of trouble.

Gledholt Male Voice Choir sings a varied repertoire of traditional Male Voice Stuff, songs from the shows and more up to date arrangements. Our Musical Director Jim Morgan is an accomplished composer and arranger, so we've learnt some good challenging stuff in and amongst. We perform full concerts four or five times a year, and sing in Nursing Homes/Care Homes about once a month, plus a few less formal performances. Here's a taster from a recent promo
The Church Choir is a bit of a unique experience. We're a small parish church choir but have a fantastic mix of quality singers, and a Choirmaster/organist of the old school. Here's a video we made during lockdown a couple of years ago. I'm the bass in the bottom left corner in the full choir sequences. The bass top middle of the full choir sequences is the Musical Director of the Male Voice Choir.
Finally the Mastersingers. I'll let the website do the talking The Mastersingers
Get some headphones on and have a listen to us Hear Us! | The Mastersingers
Swing Low Sweet Chariot is a good'un. Arranged by Jim Morgan........ the MD of Gledholt Male Voice Choir!
Started with fly fishing, and that’s been a passion all my life. Parents would not let me have a gun of any kind so target field archery was the compromise, shooting at national level. Then I finally got hold of an air rifle (sorry, weapon up here) and rabbits/ pigeons etc.
Rock climbing followed that, scuba, caving, occasionally scuba and caving, winter/ ice climbing, XC skiiing.
Mostly chasing trout and deer these days as work limits time.

Many thanks for posting those - wonderful videos all, and how lucky you are to have such talented musicians (and the composer/arranger) nearby!
I particularly liked the rendition of "I hear Thy welcome voice" at the end of the the first video. There really are some wonderfully emotive hymns out there. The Miserere is a such a lovely piece of music, and you sang it beautifully. Nice to be able to see the full choir singing in the video too. Mrs Gunn sang for a few years in a local choir that performed every Good Friday in Lambourn, and their Miserere made for a particularly memorable concert, with an excellent soprano who (fortunately!) nailed every top C while singing from the small upper gallery.
Judging from the recordings on the website the Meistersingers are, if not semi-pro/pro, certainly close to it. A really nice variety of music too - as well as Swing Low I enjoyed listening to the G&S, and Lullaby in Birdland.
All of it providing ample evidence of the joy to be had from music-making

My job was a hobby 44 years ago by this now a business and my job.
But I enjoy my garden, the bar there in
collecting vintage antiquarian big game and deer stalking books. Original African masks. Driving my 370z. Fishing. Just bought some new beach gear.
Being at home with my other half.

Fishing especially but not exclusively sea fishing, gardening but I really need to employ a gardener, so that I can sit back with glass in hand and watch him graft now that'd what I call a hobby
Classic cars though I don't have one at this moment in time.

Stalking while I enjoy it has been my work .not a hobby..
Think that's enough for a seventy three year old to be getting on with.

It was real privilege to be invited to sing with the Mastersingers. They are indeed all professionals/ex-professionals , with a hugely varied background... there are folk who have sung with the BBC singers, St Paul's and Westminster Choirs- I started life singing with Magdalen College Choir in Oxford as a treble and have really only gone back to singing since retirement.Many thanks for posting those - wonderful videos all, and how lucky you are to have such talented musicians (and the composer/arranger) nearby!

We meet once a month, rehearse in the afternoon and then often perform that evening. It certainly stretches your sight-reading skills! The repertoire is enormous, so I rarely see half the music before rehearsals.

I find you have to get MUCH closer for good photography! I think it’s a lot harder to take a good photograph of a deer.
