A happy new year to everyone.
Last month we had three gigs the first of which was the Women’s Institute at Pickenham on the 9th. The gig went very well, and the WI members joined in where possible. On Saturday 13th we had a gig at East Harling Bowls Club held in their club facility. This was another successful performance that was well received. Our final gig of the year was at the Watton Society on Wednesday 17th in the Methodist Centre, and all those present seemed to enjoy it joining in with songs where they could.
It should be mentioned that due to being so close to Christmas the fact we were able to fulfil three bookings, is a credit to the dedication of crew members. Not all were available for each gig but those who could make it, didn’t disappoint.
The new year has started with an extra rehearsal being added each month. Rehearsals now take place on the first Monday and third and fourth Wednesdays of the month (i.e. Wednesday 21st Jan, Wednesday 28th Jan and Monday 2nd Feb.) It’s understood not everyone will be able to make every rehearsal, but it will give the crew more chance to work on new material, as well as going over established songs
We have one booking this month at the Thompson WI, so rehearsals this month will concentrate on that.
