Our last Monday rehearsal of the Autumn term was given over to a small Christmas Concert – an opportunity to present our work of the term and to let our friends and families sing some carols. The weather was particularly difficult – icy under foot and bitterly cold, but about 50 people turned out to join us in some music, mince pies and hot drinks. Our retiring collection gathered £310 which we are in the process of delivering to the Family Food Bank in Ashford – a big thank you to our audience and members, especially given the current financial environment.

From Ashford Sinfonia – we wish everyone a very Happy Christmas, and all good fortune in the coming year.
