Review: Garden Picnic – Saturday 24th July

On Saturday 24th July, not even the rain could stop over 40 Members from enjoying the fabulous picnic created by our Executive Chef Arnaud.

Members of all ages had the possibility to spend time with a lovely petting farm with a range of gorgeous little animals; such a lovely event!

Here’s what you said:

‘Well organised especially as the weather changed, as always the staff were very friendly, and service was great!’

‘The mice were a great success, the kids were adorable, and the picnic indoors was well organised.’

Coming up …

Ladies’ Choir Returns

So often I hear the words ‘oh I can’t sing’ or ‘my music teacher at school told me not to sing too loudly’ … I hope I can help you to dispel these comments!

As a professional singer and a voice teacher at St. Paul’s Girls’ School, I have worked for over 20 years to encourage all voices of all standards to build a solid technique and to feel liberated to sing out and have fun.

Our 10-week course explores a wide range of popular repertoire, culminating in performances for friends and family. Please feel welcome to come and join us. If you’re not sure, find a current member and ask their advice. We really do have a lot of fun.
Anna Boucher, Member, Singer, Teacher and Leader of the Choir

Join these fun sessions in a supportive atmosphere and suitable for all abilities. Be guided by professional singer, vocal coach and Member Anna Boucher. Building week on week, the sessions will culminate in some friendly performances. No sessions on 29th October and 19th November.
