The event was held at St Margaret’s Church Upton, and was very well supported. The majority of the hundred plus audience was drawn from Upton and local villages, but we know that people had traveled from Norwich, Colchester and London to attend.
We are very grateful to Doug Clark and the Brundall Singers and Lenny Stamp for their invaluable performances, not to mention our very own Jeanette on the organ. They provided Upton’s answer to the ‘Last night of the Proms’ with a long to be remembered finale of Rule Britannia, Land of Hope and Glory and Jerusalem.
It was a great sight to see the church full of people joining in celebrating the occasion, singing and waving their St George’s flags. They clearly enjoyed themselves, happily rounding off the evening with the wine and nibbles provided by the Friends of St Margaret’s.
We are indebted to all those who helped not only on the day, but also behind the scenes, to make the event the success it was
Our thanks must go, (in no particular order) to: the car park attendants, the publicity team, the cleaning and flower arranging team who made the church look so beautiful, the refreshment team, financial backers and the administrator and ticket sellers and purchasers.
The treasurer’s report indicates that the total raised from tickets sales and donations on and before the event has reached £700.
We hope this event sets a precedent for the success of others planned for the future.
The next ‘For Your Convenience’ event will be a garden party on
Sunday 14th August 2~ 4 p.m. at the village hall.
