Dear All,
Happy Valentine’s Day! Another great sing last night and another great turn-out too. Wonderful. It was particularly reassuring to see that no-one seemed to have suffered any ill effects from last week’s grilled sausage rolls too. Next week you are invited to wear something particularly bright and colourful to help keep us in good spirits … not that we actually need anything of course. Totally non-competitive, it would be lovely to see everyone wearing their glad rags. Next week we will be singing: Alleluia, Siyahamba, Morning has come, Funiculi Funicula, Leko hode nedo, Time after Time, Forever Young and Heart to Heart.

TWO NEW ART COURSES & A CALL FOR STORYTELLERS
Julia has drawn our attention to two new art courses being held locally: Art and Mindfulness, to be held on Wednesday mornings in March at Gold Hill Museum, and the Art of Landscape Painting to be held on Thursday evenings in March at Riversmeet, Gillingham. See attached flyers. “Read Easy” is also calling for storytellers to read out loud in four of our local supermarkets over the coming months in order to raise public awareness and funds for reading books and other resources.
