Choir Social at Victoria Hall

Friday 24th February, a social evening, to talk through what would be involved in taking the choir to our twin town of Marvejols for a week's 'singing holiday' in 2013. But also, a smashing evening - something our choir seems to be particularly good at; possibly because of the friendships and camaraderie engendered by earlier visits to Marvejols, as Chris Albon pointed out... men bonding over copious amounts of wine... who would have believed it??
It was hard to find a suitable venue for a Friday night event. Victoria Hall ticks all the boxes! Lovely, cosy and  intimate, perfectly equipped (proper kitchen, plenty of tables and chairs, ). Thanks to all the washers up, and to Bob Harwood whose experience in organising these trips is second to none.

As always with our 'party nights', there was a terrific provision of food and drink. My first attempt at making Aligot might not have been perfect - scissors weren't necessary to cut off portions, which I'm told is the traditional method; but it was delicious and, thankfully,  not a scrap left. (Mind, I won't be tempted to mash six pounds of potatoes again in a great hurry... )
