GLOC - A Brief History!

GLOC was formed in 1975 by Greenock Academy former pupils who thought that it would be a good idea to continue doing shows after their school years had finished.
Two of the original founder members are still in the club, they are - Elliott McKelvie and Margaret MacDonald (who came along from Greenock High). Elliott, sadly, is beginning to show his years, so much so in fact that during performances we need someone running about with a net to catch his falsers as they fly out his mouth when he tries to reach the high notes.

The present day GLOC committee are:

Hon. President - Allan Robertson, J.P.
Hon. Vice-President - Ronnie Ahfeld

President - Jim Brown
Secretary - Sarah Gorry
Treasurer - Mary Goodwin
Business Manager - Sharon Kelly
Commercial Rep - Keiran Begley
Club Reps - Pauline Begley and Margie Carmichael

Greenock Light Opera Club is a registered charity and a member of NODA.
