What can I say?  An absolutely brilliant performance by the Iver Singers, in spite of some pretty difficult circumstances. It will go down in history as one of my overriding fun singout memories of all time.  For those of you who weren't there, picture the scene...  Just before we started, I went to collect my music stand, and someone had taken it home by mistake!  I borrowed a spare one but the top kept falling off during our performance..
