The Cestrian Male Voice Choir, as it was originally known was founded in 1941 under the directorship of Fred Warren. Fred led the choir for many years and was instrumental in the choir's sucess.

After Fred's death a memorial bench was bought and placed in the Grosvenor Park in Chester. This bench has stood there for a long time now and it starting to rot. It desperately needs replacing. We need to raise in the region of £1000 to replace Fred's Memorial Bench. This is a huge amount of money for the choir to pay and we would like to give the opportunity to supporters of the choir to donate to replacing Fred's bench, before it becomes so bad that the authorities remove it and we lose that precious memory.
