Summer Party

The social event of the summer took place last night at Janet Mansfield's. It was a lovely evening - inside!! One or two people ventured outside, but the weather did rather let us down (although one intrepid reveller managed to swing her legs over the hammock, for a brief moment...)
Lovely food, great company, great craic. Janet's gigantic paella pan was cleaned out in a matter of minutes!! thanks to all for their efforts, but especially to Janet and Laurie for their hospitality.

Summer Nights....

Glorious weather (despite forecasted rain) for our summer concert on 9th July. And oh, what joy, to perform to a capacity audience!! Guests Flimby Male Voice Choir, or is it the Flimsygate Singers, added to the ambience.
We all enjoyed relaxing with cheese and wine in the newly decorated church rooms afterwards. To the Flimsygate Singer whom I overheard wistfully asking for a slab of pork pie as well, nice idea, but don't hold your breath. Does my head in discussing how to plate out the biscuits, and how many grapes, and will adding the cheese in advance make the biscuits soggy??? Let's keep it simple please!!
Pictures from top down: Carol Barnard, for chairing the latter part of the year; Audrey Albon looking stunning sweet pea-ish with her flowery hair decoration; retired members Doreen Wilson (previous chair) and Marjorie Grainger (who holds the record for ticket selling, or at least, did till Kath Leck took over last Christmas!!); Betty Seddon, who has looked after mid-rehearsal refreshments for more years than I care to remember, (note to choir members - we're still looking for a replacement to start in September!!) and finally, a rather blurred view of the Flimby Male Voice choir, our lovely guests.
Next posting will be after the Summer Party, due to take place at Janet Man sfield's next Wednesday night.
