2011 Events and happenings

A great success despite the weather

The Music in Bloom weekend took place from 15th to 17th July. Poor weather with heavy rain on both the Saturday and Sunday kept visitor numbers down. Nevertheless the weekend was most enjoyable and successful as both residents and visitors were given the opportunity to appreciate ten of the magnificent gardens in our village, two of which also included pottery and art exhibitions, and enjoy the musical events on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Skip McMullan, Chairman of FROST at the Saturday evening concert, thanking Maureen Galea and the Clandon Singers, who were directed by Sebastian Forbes, and included alto Tessa Forbes.

Some of the beautiful flower arrangements in the Church are in the background-particular thanks to Elinor Hogarth and her team for the wonderful displays.

Visitors at the home of Liz Sherras Clark ( centre of picture). Liz opened her art studio for the day, and Terri Smart her pottery.

In the lovely gardens at Stuart Cottage, which is also on the National Garden Scheme rota. Musical entertainment was provided at Stuart Cottage and three other gardens.

Given the success of the event, we are currently considering repeating it next year, possibly in September

We will be repeating the very successful ‘Trio of talks’; these will take place on 27th January, 17th February and 23rd March.
