Raise the Roof!

International Choir Concert
article posted 22 March 2012

Combined Choirs
Warrington Male Voice Choir joined forces with a visiting choir from Australia in a special event raising funds to repair our Church roof. The music was magnificent and the roof was duly raised! You can see a brief account of the evening by clicking [here]

To say that the Concert was a resounding success is an understatement! As well as being a splendid evening enjoyed by all it raised £3,347 - and this does not include sales and donations after the event. For all of this, and to all who worked so hard to make it happen, a very sincere “THANK YOU!”

On Friday 27th. January 2012 we held our annual Burns Supper. In spite of a fierce throat infection, our doughty Laird presided at the feast and gave the traditional Ode to the Haggis.

It was a sumptuous feast featuring bashed neaps and tatties, and we did indeed experience some (almost) Scottish dancing! Hilarious! And thanks to the generosity of all concerned, the event raised over £450 to help support our restoration and renovation programme.
