reminds

new members and old friends that rehearsals begin on

Thursday 9 September at 7.15 for 7.30 pm in the Queen Elizabeth School.

(Please ring Rosie on 71068 for directions)

We shall start work on one of Vivialdi’s most stunning masterpieces: the Gloria, a work of rich contrasts and mood opposites - joyful/dark, playful/majestic, personal/universal- greatly loved for these almost theatrical qualities.

Later there will be carols from the Oxford Book, possibly the most famous and complete of all carol collections, greatly respected for being edited by Ralph Vaughan Williams and friends.

The historic market town of Kirkby Lonsdale in South Lakeland Cumbria will be the venue for the first ever Fork Fest 4th & 5th September 2010. Fork Fest a celebration of local food, real ale and gardening will be opened on Saturday at 11.30am by Celebrity Chef Simon Rimmer.

The weekend is packed with music, demos, food sampling, an ale trail and plenty of entertainment for the children.

“Fork Fest is a fun filled family weekend,” says Claire Benson, marketing director for the festival. “We are very excited to be involved in pulling together this inaugural event for Kirkby Lonsdale as we believe it will be beneficial for the businesses in town as well as the community as a whole.”

“An underlying theme of Fork Fest is buying local, and we want to encourage people to adopt some sustainable practices as well to help look after our environment.”

Under the umbrella of Fork Fest there will be 30 producers at the Food Fest offering food sampling and the chance to meet the producer, 10 beers on tap at the Beer Fest combined with the Real Ale Trail festival goers will also be able to try local beers on tap around the bars and pubs of Kirkby Lonsdale. In the Institute Demo Fest will be taking place with speakers such as Booths talking about the Slow Food movement, Sean Wilson discussing his new venture the Saddleworth Cheese Company and Greenlands Farm unearthing the real reason for farm diversification.

With Little Fest, the kids are sure to be kept entertained with food related workshops running all day, face painting and an animal farm. Within the town Flower Fest will be held at St Mary’s Church, while in the shop windows the Children’s Shoe Flower Boxes are on display, the competition winner will be announced at the Producers Charity Auction.
