Skittles for the Choir
The evening of skittles was arranged for members of the choir at the Rising Sun on Friday 11 October. Four teams of ten battled it out over three rounds, and in the end it was Duncan Wilkins who was the top scorer with Jean's team being the overall winner. Here are some images taken by Jean.

The Choir's Garden Party 15 June - a good summer memory!
The weather held, and a great party was held in Rita and Brian's home. There was some warm sunshine, and a huge amount of delicious food to eat with scrumptious plates some of which were recognised from previous years, but also mouth watering new ones. Rita and Brian had done the Choir proud once again, with a warm welcome from Brian organising the car parking and, later, encouraging a little exercise and competition on the croquet lawn. It was truly a grand party organised by Jean and her generous team.
