A fundraising concert was held on Sunday 8th May 2016 at the Methodist Church featuring local singers Classique.  It was a fabulous event and there was plenty of feed back and lovely comments to say what a superb afternoon it was.

The music and songs were very well received with a range of music including Frank Sinatra, Adele, The Carpenters and much more.  The audience were able to join in and have a good old sing song.  There was an amazing raffle which included 26 prizes all of which were chocolate themed.  

Over 60 people attended and were provided with a range of chocolate snacks and drinks.  Everyone also received a small red organza bag with some chocolates in to take home.  We would like to thank the Methodist Church for the use of the venue, all the people who made cakes, all those who help set up and clear away at the end of the afternoon and of course Classique for all their time and effort which made the afternoon go so well.  Special thanks to Andrew Clark who directs Classique for all his help and input.

Thanks must also go to the Festival Committee for organising tickets and the Community Centre for advertising the afternoon and selling tickets. The total raised for the RBL Poppy Appeal will not be known until the end of the festival so will be included in the next newsletter.  

Classique will also be singing at the RBL Poppy Appeal Coffee morning on the 3 September and will be holding another concert sometime in September.  Watch this space.
