Bradenham & District Rotary Roundup
Horticultural Society
The weather has smiled on us and everything
in the garden is leaping to life. Kate and
Colin Sayer`s talk on “Honeybees in the
Garden” on Thursday April 19th was highly
informative with a demonstration of bee
keeping equipment and free honey tasting!
Gardeners received valuable advice on what
to plant to encourage and feed our fuzzy
friends through the year.
Sandra Howard shared her considerable
skills on Thursday May 17th giving a talk on
the art of flower arranging. For those of us
who have dumped a beautiful bouquet into a
vase and hoped for the best, her tips on
preparing the stems, starting with foliage and
getting the correct proportions
( approximately 1/3 flower height to 2/3 vase
height) came as a revelation.

Watton Inner Wheel


Celebrate Thirty Seven
Years
On April 25th the Senior Moments Band from Hickling
Broad played at our Lunch Time concert in the Queens Hall.
A seventy strong audience enjoyed a foot tapping selection of
songs and music from these veteran performers and the sum
of £216 was added to our charity funds.
Then it was time for the club to celebrate at it's annual
Birthday Supper on May 10th, this time to commemorate 37
years of the club's life in Watton. Guests from Inner Wheel
clubs across the district and District Chairman, Gillian Smith
from Felixstowe attended.
The ritual lighting of candles to represent both Inner Wheel
Internationally and the Watton Club, past, present and future
were lit by club members, Stella Leonard, Helen Glibbery,

Magic and Welcome visitors to St

For young singers – and parents looking for locally
based summer holiday activities – Thetford Voices
announce their Singing Workshops dates for 2018:
Thursday 9th & Friday 10th August. The two days provide
opportunities for toddlers through to sixth formers to come
together to learn and perform a host of great songs.
The main two day course for 6 -16 year olds runs from
9.30 - 3.45 on Thursday and 1.30 - 8.00, with a concert
for friends and family at 7.15, on Friday. On the
Thursday we also have our Toddlersʼ Hour for 3-5 year
olds and for older students, 15 and over, a mixed voice
Harmony Session from 4.15 - 5.45.
Our theme this year is Magic and Mystery so plenty of
sparks should fly. Songs are targeted to groups within
the age-range and young and older, beginners as well as
experienced singers will find plenty to enjoy - big
choruses, dramatic story songs, ghostly chants and
murmurs, action and singing in parts. All building up to
a spell- binding concert performance.
The workshops take place in Thetford Grammar School.
