Hello again, Despite only five people baking cakes (not just one each, I might add), we had plenty! The turnout for the open day was very disappointing. I suspect that the glorious weather was against us in that most people probably wanted to soak up the sun. We advertised via posters, hand-delivered handouts, Radio Gloucester […]

Newsletter Issue 147
Hello everyone, There wasn’t a great deal of news to report last week, hence no newsletter. However, we are now in the week leading up to our OPEN DAY this Saturday, 10th June, 10.00a.m. to 4.00p.m. Thank you to all those of you who’ve offered help on the day. My plea now is for offers […]
Newsletter Issue 146
Hello again, A couple of days late but better late than never. We were away for a long week-end near Monmouth until Monday evening. We had a lovely time with stunning weather! For obvious reasons, we missed the quiz but I believe it was very successful as usual. The next one will be on 17th […]

Hello, Apologies for being a day late with the newsletter but I had a rather hectic week-end singing. I was singing in Gloucester Cathedral with members from my choir on Saturday morning during the Floral Festival. On Sunday, I was at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern where we did three three-quarter hour performances. It […]

Hello again, I hope you’ve enjoyed a good bank holiday. Some of us were bowling yesterday morning so it didn’t feel like a holiday but at least my team won so it did feel good. A few weeks ago we had four generations playing. Unfortunately the timing was wrong to include the photo because it […]

He coached The Dementia Choir; he arranged “Stand by Me” for the wedding of the Sussexes and coached the […]

For those of you who were not at the AGM, the most important changes to announce are: The annual Presentation Evening was enjoyed by all who attended. Our thanks to Steve Bluck and Gill and Roger […]

Hello everyone, Welcome to the summer season of indoor to some of us and outdoor to many of you. Sad to see you go but we’re looking forward to you coming back in September. In the meantime, I’ll try to keep you informed of the happenings at MidGlos. There will be an open day coming […]
Newsletter Issue 140
Hello everyone, I usually write the newsletter on Sunday evening so that it will be ready for Monday morning. However, when I got back home after two three hour games, I was just too tired. First of all, Joan Surman’s funeral has been organised for 11.30a.m. at St. Christopher’s Church, Warden Hill on 24th April […]
Newsletter Issue 139
Hello, Another week, another newsletter and sadly, another death. Joan Surman, a long-standing member of MidGlos indoors and Cheltenham outdoors sadly died on Friday. She had had a few health issues recently but this final one proved to be too much. She had been a very active member of the club in the past but, […]
