Have you had a lovely break Weymouth and Portland branch? For 11 years this branch of choir has been having their annual festive sing along in the familiar setting of all saints school. But for its 12th year we were looking for a new space to raise funds and raise the roof.
As we practice at St Aldhelms anyway, it was lovely to move up from the Church Centre to the Church itself and there was plenty of room for us and no one knocked over the advent candles at all. Well ok maybe someone did, as we shuffled about.
And didn’t we look lovely all next to the tree and the stained glass window. Jack and Jenny served mince pies and hot drinks to help boost our charity funds out in the lounge at half time, and a few of DFS best soloists sang after the intermission. Of course some other of our best soloists didn’t perform this year but we hope they will be back. We are sure their efforts help fill the buckets too.
We raised £370 for The Veterans Hub and the next day Ed said, “Yet again, massive thanks and appreciation to the wonderful people in Dorset for Singing and their supporters. What a belter of a concert last night, the moment that you started I was presented with a wall of strong, passionate singing. Even the kazoos stayed in tune! I'll let you know the total raised as soon as I know. Thank you again, hope to see as many of you as possible [at] Shire Hall, Dorchester. Much love, Ed x”
And I love you too. Well done DFS, both branches x
