The Come and Sing Classical Choral workshop and concert was a feat of organisational skills and a great success, as singers from 15 different choirs across the region came together as a ‘pop up choir’ to practice, and then perform, classical works – all in one day. Brilliant!
If you love singing (some of the old songs maybe?) but don’t feel confident enough to join a choir, then Singing4Fun could be for you. See page 47 for details.
Congratulations go to the Yeovil Freewheelers Blood Bikes for The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service; they provide a vital service in supporting the NHS and it is great that the dedication of the volunteers has been recognised in this way.
Congratulations also to Leigh Talks! in securing funding from The National Lottery. Food, farming and community are at the heart of the Wriggle Valley and this month’s Talk, on the response by farmers to the challenges of climate change, promises to be thought-provoking and entertaining.
Julie Simpson’s article on championing children’s mental health in schools highlights another important topic; the scale of the issue, its lasting effects, and the actions to tackle it, make sobering yet positive reading.
Finally, the celebrations planned across the Wriggle Valley for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee are going to be terrific so it’s time to put on your party hat and have some fun.
