Barbershop in Harmony, known as BinH, is a collaboration between BABS, LABBS and SA R31. It has been instrumental in promoting and supporting the BinH mixed quartet competition. The three organisations in BinH have worked together to ensure that the mixed quartets now have a stable calendar, parity of esteem and a pathway to international competition.

Following the recent announcement about the mixed quartet competition for 2023, BinH will no longer have this focus for its work. However, the three organisations will continue to meet under the BinH banner to share news and updates and to work together on any future collaborations that may give opportunities to our members.

For the past five years Nancy Philbin, a past chair of LABBS, has been on the BinH team, and for the last two of these she has been our co-ordinator and organiser. She has now decided to step down and we would like to acknowledge her sterling work encouraging collaboration between our organisations and her help with the mixed quartet competition. She has steered us calmly and efficiently and we all thank her and wish her well in whatever challenge she takes on next.
