COMMUNITY / PROFESSIONAL Bishop’s Waltham 'Come and Sing Day'
Mr Mac - Support for Apple & Windows
2022 sees the BW Festival organisers reprise our very popular Come and Sing day. Anyone who likes to sing, or would like to have a go at singing in a choir is welcome to sign up for the workshop. You don't need to be a great singer, just an enthusiastic one! You will learn and practise singing some popular songs with a group of likeminded people under the direction of a professional choirmaster. The theme for our songs is celebratory and royal in this Jubilee year.
This month - The latest iPhone SE, a very good Screen bar light and a portable Apple Watch charger. Introduced in March the new iPhone SE, 4.7", starting price £419, has had some excellent reviews. It packs a lot of punch for a small phone. Many people like this form factor that slips easily into almost any pocket or handbag and will not be disappointed with the 2022 model. It has a 12 megapixel camera, up to 15 hours battery life and is fully 5G compatible. If you have an older model 6 or 7 and are looking to update it without needing to buy the very latest model this is a great choice. I am always available should you need any help setting up any new iPhone that you might choose. Remember that if you purchase any Apple product from John Lewis you will receive 2 years warranty, one year more than Apple give you.
Lunch is available for singers for an additional fee. In the evening there is a short concert open to your family and friends and the general public where you and the choir will perform the songs of the day. Charges: Workshop £10 Lunch: £7 Concert: £5 per person to include wine / soft drinks and nibbles. Doors open at 6.00pm. Pay on the door, cash or card. From 28th March paper entry forms for the workshop are available at Best Wishes, Brook Street, Bishop's Waltham. On-line entry forms will be available from Jan on the same date. Workshop: 10.00am to 4.00pm - Concert: 6.30pm Both at: St. Peter's Church, Bishop's Waltham Email: veck1948@gmail.com
I have been looking for a suitable light to use with my iMac for quite a while now and recently saw one that fits on the top of any flat screen monitor made by BenQ, called the Screen Bar Monitor Light LED Light Bar, that costs £89 from Amazon. It fits neatly on the top of your monitor with a counter balance weight and takes power from a USB port. I love my Apple Watch but I become very frustrated if I forget to charge it overnight and it then runs out of juice. Now, for less than £10, it is possible to buy a portable charger that plugs into any USB that lets you charge it on the go. A great travel companion. Search for Newdery USB charger for Apple Watch.

Swanmore Village Fete – Saturday 9th July from 12 noon Don’t forget to book the date in your diary now! Preparations are going well for our annual fete which will be held in the Swanmore Recreation Ground. We’re keeping all your regular favourites and following the huge success in 2019 we are going to host a dog show again, during the course of the afternoon. We’re not going to recreate Crufts, but hope to have a bit of fun and a chance for local dog-owners to show off their pet’s best attributes. There will be numerous prizes up for grabs for the best pooches in various classes. They’ll be lots of other things to do and see, especially as we’ve booked Mill Cottage Farm Experience – petting zoo. During the next few weeks, more details will be published on our Fete website page plus there will be social media postings to keep you updated on developments. The Lions’ Swanmore fete takes a lot of time and effort to plan and we need dozens of people to help us make the event work on the day. If you can volunteer for a few hours setting up the field, manning the gate or running a stall,
