Upchurch Choral Society trip -
Our Choral Society gave the promised concert
in the church in Ferques on Sunday 15th April and the whole day was
a brilliant success. The choir and
others travelled by coach and about 60 people enjoyed a lovely lunch at a local
restaurant. While the choir
rehearsed in the church, the coach drivers took others for a drive around the
local area and along the coast. The concert itself was a wonderful experience, with about 150 in the
audience, some English, but many local Ferques residents. At the end, the audience showed their
appreciation with a standing ovation. Afterwards, there was a reception in the
Mairie before all departed, tired but extremely happy.
Thursday 17th May 2012 –
Annual General Meeting
7:30pm in Holywell School Hall. Come and hear more about us and enjoy
refreshments afterwards. All are
welcome to this AGM and we would love to see everyone there.
Saturday 14th July – Bastille
Day in Ferques – We’ll be having a
stall at the street fair in Ferques as usual this year. We will be plying everyone with English
food and beverages, plus we will sell good quality, donated items to raise some
funds. This event is well worth a
visit as part of a day out and to see if you can pick up any bargains on the
other stalls! If you have
any items that would be suitable for our stall, do let us know – we can collect
if required. See you there,
hopefully!
Saturday 25th August. 2012 – Sports
Day – this is now an
annual affair and this year will be in Ferques. We will be
arranging a coach so think about a day out with lots of sporty fun in France
that day, plus food will be available. Cost of a seat on the coach will only be £10. This is always most enjoyable and well supported so register
your interest as soon as possible. We hope that both individuals and Upchurch organisations will take an
active part, or just come along to observe and cheer on!
7th October – Anniversary
Event – an outing somewhere
in Kent. A coach load of Ferques
residents will be coming over the water to join us. Watch this space!
