As I write this we are still  in the summer season, or should it be the silly season,  with its unpredictable weather of hot days, cool nights, flash floods, torrential rain and even hail stones.  But all of this gives us the beautiful countryside in which we live and for the gardeners and flower arrangers an array of stunning flowers to grow and arrange.

Speaking of flower arrangers, the Flower club resumes with a  new programme starting on Thursday 19th September at 7.30 pm in Hornby Institute.   We look forward to welcoming as our guest demonstrater,  Pamela from Flowerfields Florists in Bentham.  Pamela has been to the club on a number of occasions  and always brings something fresh and new to delight our members.

How about coming along with a friend and enjoy the arrangements, refreshments and company.

The last few months have been challenging as Dan, our director or music, has included in our repertoire a few songs written in different languages..  This is in preparation for our concert  Around the World in 80 songs (give or take a few!).  I don’t know if our geography has improved but our pronunciation gets  better each week.

We are taking a break during the month of August and resume again on Tuesday 3rd September at 7.00pm in Hornby Institute.   Why not come along and see/hear what we do.   No auditions or ability to read music necessary,  just a willingness to ‘have a go’ .

Our grateful thanks go to everyone who contributed in any way to making the  New to You  Fund Raising event such a success.  We could not have done it without your donations of saleable goods, or your help on the day to sell the items and to clear away after the event.   As always Jill and Barbara did a grand job providing refreshments.

At the time of writing we don’t know exactly how much the event raised but whatever the amount it will certainly boost Hornby Institute’s New Roof Fund.  .
