Got a passion for singing?
Harmony Singing Workshops at the St John’s Centre
Whether you think you can sing or not…a love of singing is all you need to enjoy these uplifting workshops
Led by Faith Watson (Singing for Larks)
Our pantomime – “Jack and the Beanstalk” – was held on January 29th and 30th and was enjoyed by around 200 people (we could tell by the noise!). We raised over £400, which will be donated to Haiti.
Thanks to everyone who performed, wrote, built, sewed, publicised, coached, organised, sold tickets, moved furniture and brewed up to make it such a success. Special thanks to the superstar volunteers who stepped in to perform at the last minute!
It’s never too early to get involved in next year’s pantomime – contact us if you would like to help in any way.
Come and have another go at Maths in a welcoming atmosphere, with learning designed to suit you.
