Thankyou Fairygirl and Forester2, I am happy with the arch and yes Forester2, its Eucalyptus pauciflora subsp. niphophila.
I love it because its light and airy and its about 17yrs old, so not really massive. Also the peeling bark on a wet day is gorgeous
Gosh David, my Sisyrinchiums grow like weeds
Oh my goodness..all this for a potato!
Bad Panda
Morning forkers.
Been raining for a week and I've been working alot The garden looks lush and I just got round to planting out my toms in a spare patch of land baked against a south facing fence...so, can't give them a better suntrap than that.
Again, I;ve run out of room in the veg plot which is yet to be landscaped so its just three raised beds looking a bit cramped. Two @4x4 plus 1 @6x6. You'd think that would be enough room for my needs but then I went and bought those pesty plugs for more than I planned, since my seedlings either died off or still look pathetic.
Potatoes are doing great though and the strawberries are crazy with ripening fruits. My beetroot just about managed to withstand the rigours of birds pecking them to death, my carrots have endure slug attacks although I have yet to discover if a row of chives has kept the rootfly at bay. Salad leaves still need somewhere to live and the first sowing of my peas was a poor show so I've just resown. Sweetcorn need a home soon and my leeks are decidedly unimpressive in their seedtrays still, I wonder if they are hungry and need some food? I never normally have an issue growing leeks, but I am late with sowings since I don't have a greenhouse YET.
The end of this season will see a massive overhaul in my veg plot, with better positioned raised beds and a greenhouse for next year.
Happy gardening everyone
What lovely spuds KEF and all the featured gardens are looking splendid at this time of the year
Goodluck with your open day BL. I hope you have the best weather for it and a great crowd to appreciate all that backbreaking work we do because we can't stop ourselves.
I'm tied up with work at this time plus I'm still waiting on more stones and the pergola to finish my landscaping scheme. It's also rained alot recently, although yesterday was a tad delicious and EVERYthing in my garden needs a good prune! The bees have had a riot on my Photinia this week, and the scent has been incredible! My hostas are also standing up to slug attacks quite nicely and I just got a gift from my OH, the RHS book of planting combinations that I'm hoping will really help me take my patch to the next level.
I got one of those in a pot I moved but it was a sickly shade of green and yes it was hu-normous. So big and fat that I had to call my OH to look for himself. Probably the size of a sausage and it didnt shrink much when I disturbed it either.
oh my arn't we a spoilt bunch at this time of year. Loving the poppies, one of Chicky's clematis I spotted and so many wonders
Welcome to the new additions, this is my favourite thread. I can't live without it
Thanks for the tips Fairygirl. I do indeed use most of what you mention in my garden already and I definitely did go with foliage contrasts such as the blue Eucalyptus and my Hebe Red Edge and the Virginia Creeper that turns firey red in summer. There's also a huge Phormium to the left of the border that should be chocolate leaved but its more a sagey green there days . Anyhow, i will investigate your ideas further and thats the fun of gardening right?
@Chicky, he only got a cup of coffee so it must have been my fierce charm .

Quote of the Day: L.A. Times reporter on Kemp, Stewart
Aug 22, 2010, 4:15 PM EDT
T.J. Simers of the Los Angeles Times published an incredibly revealing article on Saturday night about the relationship between the Dodgers, their fans, Matt Kemp and agent Dave Stewart.
In it you'll find Stewart as an overbearing and overly self-conscious agent and Kemp as a talented but confused 25-year-old. Simers' headline says it best: "Matt Kemp's agent is an albatross around his neck." And here's your quote of the day:
"Do you think for one moment I care about the town of L.A. or the fans there?" Stewart wrote in an e-mail. [Kemp is] going to be a great major league player. It
doesn't have to be [in L.A.]. …The big picture is he doesn't have to
play [in L.A.]. There are 29 teams out there."
That kind of talk is fine for an impending free agent, but Kemp is under contract with the Dodgers for at least two more seasons. Given the outfielder's age and extraordinary level of talent, any sort of trade would be of the blockbuster variety. And we don't see many of those these days.
- JimmyY - Aug 22, 2010 at 5:38 PM
Stewart has always thought too highly of himself and trying to be a tough guy but comes across as an ass, sorry, that's the way it is. Here's hoping his clients can see through him and realize they'd be better off without him.
- Mrsteve - Aug 22, 2010 at 5:50 PM
Everyone forget when Stewart was with the Rangers he got blown by a guy & the police caught him

- SparksALot - Aug 22, 2010 at 8:47 PM
MrSteve, what does that have to do with anything. Take your homophobia elsewhere, lets talk some baseball.
On topic, I usually dislike Simers immensely, but that article was fantastic, and the last line echoed immediately what I thought when Stewart started spouting off, how much is Matt gonna like what his agent had to say if he's sitting in Kansas City. I think the Dodgers would be more than happy to obtain a guy like Zack Greinke if they could.
Who knows, maybe that's the type of guy Kemp is. Maybe as long as he puts up good numbers a no pressure situation like KC or someplace like that would be just fine for him as long as his stats are pretty. If that's the case, good riddance I say.
Oh, and D-Stew, maybe you should wait until you actually reach Scott Boras status before you start acting like the big dog in town.
- walk - Aug 22, 2010 at 9:39 PM
Easy fix for arrogance like that. Trade him to the orioles or pirates for a high draft pick and some bats.

We get it. Your in the closet. Take the bigotry elsewhere.
- BigPhil - Aug 23, 2010 at 8:58 AM
Weird. I read some of the criticism targeted at Kemp this year but didn't think it would lead to anything. What's the sense in Dodger Nation about Kemp's future? Is he trying to talk his way out of town? What's the deal?

Compound From Olive-Pomace Oil Inhibits HIV Spread 266

I don't think the OP meant deep-fry, but rather saute. Personally, as I'm deathly allergic to peanuts, I do like to cook with cheap olive oil. But anyone who does that with extra virgin (even the fake stuff) is an idiot with way too much money.Does Rachel actually fry stuff in extra virgin olive oil? That's just plain stupid. The high heat of frying ruins the taste and creates nasty, harmful compounds.

I'm always skeptical of these third world countries scientific claims of some miracle cure usinging some natrual substance (...) I'm sure they lack the level of technical abilities and testing proceedure to make a truly scientific claim.
But this is illogical. Scientific doesn't mean accurately measured, it's a matter of method. A Fermi problem's solution is not unscientific.

Commercials: Pepsi is not really making a compelling case for its inclusion in my lifestyle by implying that P. Diddy and Carson Daly are big fans of its product.
When we come back from commercials, Sawyer's evidently having another nightmare based on his childhood trauma, but the pair of legs walking toward the bed morphs into four trotters, and the boar snorts as the voice whispers, "It'll come back around again." The whispering voice is fairly unimaginative and humorless. Why not mess with Sawyer by whispering, "Some pig"? Or so long as we're working the themes of civilization and savagery as embodied by symbolic pigs, why not go with: "There isn't anyone to help you. Only me. And I'm the Beast… Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill! …You knew, didn't you? I'm part of you? Close, close, close! I'm the reason why it's no go? Why things are the way they are?" The gunshot rings out, and Kate wakes Sawyer up.
As Sawyer wakes up more completely, he sees that the boar's wrecked his pack. He shouts, "It ate all our stuff!" and Kate helpfully corrects him with, "Nope. It ate all your stuff. Mine's fine." Instead of snapping, "Well, now do you believe me about this pig's grudge?" Sawyer fulminates on the ways in which he'll make the boar suffer. He hears a rustling in the bushes, runs for his gun…
…And out pops Locke, who's looking pretty blasé for someone who's got a gun pointed in his general direction by the one guy on the island we know has terrible aim. "What happened to your campsite?" he asks. Kate rolls her eyes, which lets us transition into everyone sitting around a boiling teakettle on the fire. Kate asks what Locke's doing out so far, and he tells her he's looking for salvageable debris. He picked up their trail, and figured he'd be sociable. This is about the time when Sawyer discovers that the boar pissed on his formerly-clean shirt. And now it finally occurs to him to tell Kate, "And you say this ain't personal." Kate tells Locke dismissively, "He thinks the boar we're after has a vendetta against him." "Ah-huh," Locke says neutrally. Kate suggests that maybe the boar's just averse to whatever cologne Sawyer's wearing. So he's a Drakkar guy, is what you're saying? Sawyer blusters some more, and Kate insists that the pig's not holding a grudge.
"My sister Jeannie died when I was a boy," Locke interrupts, mildly. He serves coffee as he talks: "She fell off the monkey bars and broke her neck. And my mother -- well, my foster mother -- she blamed herself, of course. Thought she wasn't watching close enough. So she stopped eating, stopped sleeping. The neighbors started talking -- afraid she might do something to herself, I guess. Anyway, about six months after Jeannie's funeral, this golden retriever comes padding up our driveway, comes into our house, sits down on the floor, right in front of my mother there on the couch. And my mother looked back at the dog. After about a minute of this, them both staring at each other, my mother...burst into tears. Beautiful dog -- no tags, no collar, healthy and sweet. The dog slept in Jeannie's old room on Jeannie's old bed, and stayed with us until my mother passed five years later. Then -- disappeared, back to wherever it was she came from in the first place."

"Abridged :( :( :("
There should be a warning before purchasing abridged editions of books. Wish I could get my money back.
There should be a law against selling abridged books. Or at least a big warning that pops up before you waste your money.
None, threw it away without listening. Abridged books are a waste of money. Very disappointed that audible sells them
"Life is too long for books this boring"
The story is highly dated and many of the political rants theories the author expresses have been proven false. Perhaps if there was less ranting and more plot/story/character development...
Some scifi ages badly. Most political thrillers age badly. This is a bad combination of both
"Abridged :( :( :("
I despise abridged works. Did not listen threw it away. Wish I could get my money back. There should be a big warning that pops up telling you a work is abridged. I can't believe I paid good money for a hack job :(
NOne. Abridged books are a waste of money. There should be a law against selling them or at least large warnings.
*sigh* Audible ripped me off twice today with abridged books. I need to go find a better book seller

Arizona Cardinals
Herm Edwards: Larry Fitzgerald's career is wasting away
Former NFL head coach and current ESPN NFL analyst Herm Edwards knows a thing or two about football.
Edwards, who coached the New York Jets for five seasons and the Kansas City Chiefs for three, has seen some talented players.
Needless to say, he views Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald as one of the game's best.
"I say this every Sunday, how good is this guy," Edwards told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Wednesday. "He's a pro's pro.
"This poor guy, Larry Fitzgerald, sits there every week. You can't get him the ball, it's unbelievable."
Fitzgerald finished the 2012 campaign with 71 catches for just 798 yards and a career-low four touchdowns. It was a down year for Arizona's offense in general, the problems for which can be traced directly to one position.
"You see his career just wasting away and you're going 'get the guy a quarterback,'" Edwards proclaimed. "It ain't fair to him, it's really not.
"It's hard to watch."

It's been a while since I've done something a wee bit epic, so with only minimal consideration I said "yes" when a good mate (Fraser Waters of Happy Cog) asked if I'd be up for the 2015 Transcontinental Race.
Organised by Mike Hall, this year will be the third incarnation of the race, this time with a completely new depart. Instead of London, it will now start from somewhere in Flanders heading to the finish in Istanbul with only four checkpoint along the route; Mount Ventoux (France), Sestriere (Italy), Vokovar (Croatia) and Kotor (Montenegro). Circa 4,000kms in total.
The race is held in the style of ITT (Independent Time Trial) with riders expected to be self sufficient along the route, relying on their own route planning and with no outside support. In addition there will be some interesting mandatory sections such as climbs to the summit of Mont Venteux and Mont Lovcen with some Belgian pave and strade bianche thrown into the mix!
As we're riding as a pair, we've been thinking hard about bikes and kit and have general plan sorted out. First question was bikes and having considered doing custom Shand builds, we've settled on standard Stoaters as they really do tick all the boxes. We've also had enquiries from fellow competitors so we're not alone in our thinking about a suitably tough, lightweight mile-muncher of a bike.
I'll post more about our preparations in due course, but having committed to posting this here, there's no going back now. Istanbul, here we come!
We're back on the road again! This time at the London Bike Show in mid-February and you can find us on stand number LB901.
UPDATE 8 Jan – Tickets have all been allocated!
We also have some complimentary tickets so if you'd like to visit us, send an email to email@example.com with the following details before by midday on Friday 9 January:
First come, first served!
Show website: www.thelondonbikeshow.co.uk
Show location: ExCel London, Royal Victora Dock
At the beginning of December Steven and myself will be at Spin in Shoreditch London with a Stoater and our new production 29er. It's a great opportunity to have a look at our bikes in the flesh, so come along and say hi. Tickets are available for free from the Spin website.
Location: Rochelle School & Club Row, Arnold Circus, London E2 7ES (location on google map).
Just arrived this morning and available to buy in our online shop. Thanks for your patience!
Hello Steven, Russell and Fraser and Euan
Month one went well. 382 miles, at least 75% of them on tracks I knew of but had never been on. I joined up the village, the Lammermuirs, and the Lauder Valley on a number of high-level solo excursions passing the odd sheep, one or two ramblers, and a lot of wind turbines. I joined up bits of my mental geography of my own back yard, into a more coherent jigsaw. I found large swathes of uninhabited land only a few clicks from my front door that I had never managed to access before. Ancient routes (not least the Herring Road) and newly laid access roads – the Stoater made no distinction, just rolled on through silently without a grumble. I fell off once hitting a clear-fell tree stump amongst the Crystal Rigg turbines.
Here we are in the back garden in single speed mode with some 37mm Vittorias ready for anything the winter roads want to throw at us.
Thank again for all of your precision work. I'm appreciating it!!

DCOMShort for Distributed Component Object Model, an extension of the Component Object Model (COM) that allows COM components to communicate across network boundaries. Traditional COM components can only perform interprocess communication across process boundaries on the same machine. DCOM uses the RPC mechanism to transparently send and receive information between COM components (i.e., clients and servers) on the same network. DCOM was first made available in 1995 with the initial release of Windows NT 4.
DCOM serves the same purpose as IBM's DSOM protocol, which is the most popular implementation of CORBA. Unlike CORBA, which runs on many operating systems, DCOM is currently implemented only for Windows.

Email From Spirit Yachts
Cam was kind enough to remove a tread I had started regarding a design I thought was this company's offshore model. I was wrong.
Here's the email:
Thank you for your e-mail enquiry and for your interest in our yachts.
The Spirit 54 is probably the least suitable, with lower freeboard she's more suited to coastal and regatta sailing.
The Spirit 52 is a relatively lightweight fast cruiser racer but very
capable of offshore work, certainly much more capable than almost all
standard production yachts now on the market. We have recently had one
of these yachts in some truly awful conditions and it came through with flying colours.
The Spirit 56 is the one that was really designed for the job. She was
conceived and built as a true 'blue water' cruiser with go any where
Whilst both yachts are quite capable of being handled by two-handed
crews (single-handed is possible with the 52), the 56 would benefit
from a larger crew of say four for long-distance work.
We have a Spirit 52 at our yard as our company demonstrator and we also
have a Spirit 56 in for winter maintenance as well as another 56 in build. You would be most welcome to visit us at your convenience to see these and other yachts in build and to discuss them in more detail.

Free fonts generally suck. Maybe you can use Impact, if you intend to create a poster that sucks :)
yes im sure they generally suck, hence why i said if there is one that looks like it that would be nice.
also im using this font for something that will be in an animation for like 3 seconds, so i dont really wanna pay 50 dollars for a font i'll only use once
A well planned mugging might reveal enough cash to make the purchase and cause minimal damage to your own net worth?
Fishmonger might work: http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/suitcase/fishmonger/
Eurostile might be the closest you get with a free* font, or maybe you could try Jack Usine's Audimat. Both differ quite a bit though.
*Eurostile is not free, just bundled with Windows.

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the greatest fears of a new parent is SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), but due to extreme precautionary measures taken to try to avoid SIDS, other developmental issues in children are rising by surprising levels. After the introduction of the 'Back-to-Sleep' program in 1995, cases of SIDS were reduced significantly. However, during this same period, children diagnosed with developmental delays actually increased by over sixty-percent (Fed Stats, 2005).
"Due to the heightened awareness of the 'Back-to-Sleep' program millions of infants are not spending enough time on their stomachs. Yet, numerous recent studies show that this is extremely important to infant development. We developed the EASY Baby program to help children develop properly, by teaching parents how to safely apply the right techniques early-on," states Janessa Rick, PT, and Founder of EASY Baby.
EASY (Early Advantage to Support Your) Baby is a nationwide program dedicated to providing comprehensive early development education to parents and caretakers. The organization is focused on reducing cases of developmental delays in children by teaching interactive techniques that promote optimal infant health and development.
Through the EASY Baby program (http://www.myeasybaby.com) parents and caretakers receive a multimedia guide to help them participate in their child's early development. The program explains how to exercise and enhance each developmental building block through easy-to-follow interactive DVDs and downloadable literature; in select locations parents can also participate in live parent-training seminars.
"Unlike other early development programs, EASY Baby directly involves
the parents and caregivers in infant development through the use of touch,
movement, massage, communication, interactive exercises and music,"
explains Janessa. EASY Baby is designed

Mothers on Trial: The Battle for Children and Custody (Google eBook)
Chicago Review Press, Jul 1, 2011 - Family & Relationships - 512 pages
Updated and revised with seven new chapters, a new introduction, and a new resources section, this landmark book is invaluable for women facing a custody battle. It was the first to break the myth that mothers receive preferential treatment over fathers in custody disputes. Although mothers generally retain custody when fathers choose not to fight for it, fathers who seek custody often win--not because the mother is unfit or the father has been the primary caregiver but because, as Phyllis Chesler argues, women are held to a much higher standard of parenting. Incorporating findings from years of research, hundreds of interviews, and international surveys about child-custody arrangements, Chesler argues for new guidelines to resolve custody disputes and to prevent the continued oppression of mothers in custody situations. This book provides a philosophical and psychological perspective as well as practical advice from one of the country's leading matrimonial lawyers. Both an indictment of a discriminatory system and a call to action over motherhood under siege, "Mothers on Trial" is essential reading for anyone concerned either personally or professionally with custody rights and the well-being of the children involved.

Mothers on trial: the battle for children and custodyUser Review - Not Available - Book Verdict
What qualities make a woman a good mother, "fit'' to be awarded custody of her children? Are these qualities different from those that make a father fit to have custody of his children, if he wants it ... Read full review
Seriously? Motherhood under siege? This book is definitely out there. If you are a mother and feel like you need a cheerleader to make you feel like a victim then by all means read this book. Oppression of mothers? Please....we can still make false allegations of abuse, gain restraining orders and keep our welfare checks, TANF, WIC and child support coming in. Father's still need to be twice as patient, ten times richer since they are forced to pay for everything, and have a mountain of evidence to show the judge if he ever hopes of gaining custody. We as mothers can go in to court, plead abuse, plead poverty and say we are breastfeeding our 3 year old child and be sure that the father never gains custody.
Where is the book "Father's on Trial"? Seems like a more realistic read.

We met my extended family for a week at the Silverleaf Seaside. We stayed in one of the newer buildings on the Presidential side and everything was nice, clean, and functional. We had 6 adults and 3 kids and found that the 2 bedrooms and fold out couch held us fairly comfortably. The washer and dryer and elevators were lifesavers. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and we took advantage of the movies and games in the lounge area as well as the mini golf and ping pong. The resort is quite a ways from the Strand or any nightlife, but that never bothered us because we cooked in the well-equipped kitchen most nights and never had to venture past a great little seafood restaurant just down the beach.
The one glaring omission was a shower to rinse off the sand after the beach. The only one to be found was at the pool all the way at the front of the complex and too far away to be useful. Having sand all over the unit for the week was very annoying. Also, the complex is right across the street from the beach, but if you're in a unit at the back, it's much too far to walk with young kids. We ended up driving back and forth. Not the end of the world but with a lot of people it involved more planning.
Overall, it was a very nice place to stay and we really enjoyed it. If you're looking for a quiet, fun, family place this is it!

Recent Vinalhaven Reviews
Maine at it's best.
A first time visit to Vinalhaven was elevated to a personal best experience with this stay at this Maine Island Cottage. The setting was a constant visual show of tides, otters, eagles and rustic charm. A warm welcome was followed by an introduction to the delightfully furnished cottage with every imaginable amenity. Only classical music and conversation filled the times that we were not kayaking, cooking with a full compliment of utensils and serving dishes, or taking in the picture perfect scenery. Vinalhaven is a quintessential Maine experience, which was only made better by this exquisite rental property. The level of comfort at this cottage.was what a vacation should be when wanting to be spoiled and still feel "away". Even the lighting elements and decor made you feel as though you were in a residence where thought had gone into every element. Thank you for a stay that will be difficult to match.
Peaceful getaway
The setting was private, yet close to town. It was very relaxing to sit and watch the ferry and lobster boats on The Reach either from the wraparound deck or even from the kitchen/living room. The house was bright and sunny, clean and well-maintained. We will be returning to this place when we visit the island again.

Dan Gordon, administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, said Nov. 16 that a recent Senate proposal to bar contractors from doing work closely associated with inherently governmental jobs would seriously disrupt government agencies' operations.
"This bill language would force us essentially to insource all closely associated functions to the maximum extent practicable," Gordon said in an interview with Federal Computer Week.
However, the Senate has taken a different view than Gordon and the administration. A provision in an appropriations bill would stop contractors from doing work that is "closely associated with inherently governmental functions." Inherently governmental functions are already limited to federal employees only. The new provision, if it becomes law, would extend that restriction to closely associated jobs as well, with just a few exceptions.

Senate clamps down on contractors in sensitive jobs
The provision requires that "contracts exclude, to the maximum extent practicable, functions that are closely associated with inherently governmental functions."
The specific provision is in the Senate's fiscal 2012 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act (S. 1573). The bill now is a part of the consolidated legislation. The Senate has started its debate on the legislation.
"The reason we oppose that provision is because it is inconsistent with our approach that is set out in a policy letter that we issued," Gordon said. "Never in this administration have we been in favor of 'willy nilly' insourcing or hiring people. We think it needs to be done in a sensible, thoughtful way. This bill would sweep away sensible and thoughtful, and say just insource everything to the maximum extent practicable."
Gordon said there is no reason to block contractors from doing those jobs. But the government must have good managers to oversee the contractors, and make sure the contractors' work doesn't spill over into an inherently governmental function, such as writing policy or making a business decision on the government's behalf.
The administration has said that contractors can do jobs that are closely associated with government-only work. Those jobs may include preparing a budget and providing support for developing policies or drafting documents and conducting analyses.
The Senate's bill, "If it were to be enacted as written, it would be very disruptive. It would be very problematic," Gordon said.

Like Many choirs throughout the country WMVC cannot sustain it's finances through singing alone, so from time to time it looks towards mixing fundraising with a good old social night!
These take many different forms, below is a little of what they're all about.
23rd February 2015
The Choir AGM was held in Worrall Independent Chapel commencing at 7:30pm - more details to follow.

31st October 2014
The Choir had a Social Evening at The Royal Hotel in Dungworth commencing at 7:30pm. We sang a number of items from the current repertoire, before inviting those present to join us in singing local and traditional carols from the choir's Blue Book (which the hotel helps us sell throughout the year). It was a bit strange, singing Christmas Carols surrounded by Spiders Webs and other Halloween paraphernalia, but it was a good night and seemed to be well received.
11th October 2014
The Choir Support Group held their Autumn Fayre at Wisewood Methodist Church Hall starting at 11am. Thanks to the efforts of the Support Group and Choir members, a total in excess of £700 was raised. Well done to organisers and helpers for all your efforts.
3rd October 2014
The Choir held their Autumn Concert at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Hillsborough commencing at 7:30pm. Our guests were Miscellany. We began the concert with our first performance of a medley from the musical "Les Miserables" which we have been learning for the last 6 months - the audience seemed to enjoy it. 'Miscellany' completed the first half of the concert with a mixture of Songs from Musicals, Music Halls and First World War songs , including "Willkommen" from Cabaret, "Major General's Song" from "The Pirates of Penzance" and "Take me back to dear old Blighty". The audience & choir were invited to join in with the chorus for the last piece bringing the first half of the concert to a close.
After the break, 'Miscellany' entertained the audience with more music from their varied repertoire - including "Friendship", "Blow High, blow low" (the choir helped out with the chorus here), and "Seven Brides Medley". Following on from this, the choir came to the stage again, and performed more music from this year's repertoire - this included "The Deadwood Stage", "My Way" and "The Lord's Prayer". The choir were then joined by 'Miscellany' to sing "Songs from the First World War" arranged by Alwyn Humphreys as a tribute to those relatives of choir members and local men who fell during that conflict. The names of these fallen soldiers were read out during the rendition of "Keep the Home Fires burning" from the piece - a very moving tribute and end to the concert.
A questionnaire was handed out at the concert, and the completed ones were entered into a draw with a chance to win a £20 Gift Voucher - the winner was Mr David Barrett, so congratulations to him.
