In the first week of December our third full team Christmas concert took us south to the village of Doveridge where we had been invited to play for the Tuesday Group at the village hall. Yet again the weather wasn’t looking good (another snowy forecast!), but we all arrived in good time to set up, hoping for the best.
We were made very welcome and our audience was very appreciative of our ringing. As this was a performance at a small private event for about an hour, we had a reduced repertoire concentrating on our Christmas music, and afterwards we were invited to join them for festive (non-alcoholic!) refreshments, before we set off home replete with Christmas cheer, just catching the last bright sunshine that had appeared after all!
