Administrative / Biographical history
The Old Choristers' Association was founded in 1930. After the closure of the Choir School in 1968, the membership inevitably declined, and in 2002 the (somewhat controversial) decision was taken to allow all boys who had sung in the Chapel Choir to become members. The Association holds an annual service at Eton followed by dinner in College Hall.
