We would like to thank all those who attended and especially those who donated prizes, gifts and freshly baked cakes and fancies for the various stalls.
The “guess the weight of the beef” was very popular as were the bric-a-brac and book stalls.
Thanks go to all those who helped on the stalls and in the kitchen and also the ‘early birds’ who helped to set up the tables and chairs and cleared away at the end.
The sum raised will help pay for music and other expenses associated with our forthcoming Spring Concert on April 18th.

This will be tweaked a little over time, and the move to a WordPress based system will hopefully allow choral members to make posts, as well as giving a more satisfactory way of allowing feedback to be given to the Society from others.

Please contribute. Any social organisation grows and survives because of the involvement of individuals, friends, and communities. The electronic aspect of that is no different.

So join us in song, or in words and pictures.

Many thanks,
