Susie is a solid Mayflower through and through. She is at the heart of everything we do and can be 100% relied on to carry out any task thrown her way. Susie has just become our President for the 2nd time and we know we are in safe hands.
About Susannah
Susie has been singing Baritone with the Mayflower A Cappella Chorus for over 20 years and also sings Bari in Carousel Quartet of whom we are all extremely proud.
In her younger years Susie was in the RAF and now works in the supplies division of the MOD, so she has a military style which spills over to any chorus tasks she takes on, and benefits the Mayflowers enormously.
Susie is married to Dave and they have a lovely son Adam, and an even lovelier dog, Buster. Everyone in the chorus knows Buster because Susie invariably phones chorus members for a chat whilst out walking him, and we have all heard the words… ‘Buster! put that down, you dirty dog!’
Susie is passionate about fund raising and has completed 5 Mighty Hikes with her close friend and fellow quartet buddy Sarah, raising over 5K for Macmillan Cancer Research. She has completed 2 Marathons (Washington and London) and is currently in training for this years London Marathon.
Susie loves socialising with friends, especially if a singalong is involved and the obligatory pint of course. Her skillset within the chorus is varied including, Baritone section leader, previous president, and now current president! keeper of the risers, recruitment officer and general all round ‘good egg’. Susie doesn’t wear her heart on her sleeve but you can be sure it’s made of gold.
If Susie were a stick of rock, she would definitely have ‘Mayflowers’ stamped through her middle.
Our thoroughly deserving Unsung Champion – Susie Hyslop!
