A new singing group will be making its debut on Wed 21st Sept from 10.30am – 12 noon, Walton Village Hall in the Bromage room.
We will be singing a variety of popular songs from the 20th century bringing back memories of that golden age of musical medley from the 20s right through to Abba in the 70s. The singing will be very light-hearted with no hard practice as we are not a choir. Anyone can sing along with others in a group so why not give it a try.

Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebration
Our Committee members would like your thoughts on our plans to organise an event to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The event would not be held during the official bank holiday weekend, as there will be so much going on. The suggestion is that our celebration should be an Afternoon Tea with entertainment. The date of the event is yet to be decided, but will probably be in mid July, before the School holidays. Your comments & thoughts would be appreciated. The event is dependant on the number of positive responses we receive.
