In August 2022 we held a fabulous Summer Singalong Special - nearly 60 of us, aged from 18 to 80+ years old, gathered in Barkham Village Hall to enjoy a really joyous evening of singing and socialising together!
Summer Special 2023 - our biggest yet with over 100 of us, raising the roof and raising over £300 for First Days Children’s Charity! Fabulous food, drinks and fun!
Our Christmas Special 2022 - nearly 80 of us donned our best Christmas jumpers, headgear and sparkles for an incredibly fun evening of singing all our favourite Christmas hits, with added mulled wine, mince pies and other festive goodies! It was a riot of singing, laughter and jingle bells all the way!
First Days was our chosen charity for fundraising at our Christmas Special in December 2022. We raised a fantastic £720 for this incredible charity, which works tirelessly to support families with children living in poverty in the local area.
