With the festive season fast approaching, we are delighted to share with you the first of our Christmas events here in Smeeton Westerby.

We are proud to present an evening of music starring world-renowned soprano singer Denise Leigh. Denise has performed for the royal family, including our late queen, at several venues including the Royal Albert Hall and Kensington Palace. She gave a solo performance at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics. She has featured on many programmes including ‘BBC Proms in the Park’, ‘Friday Night is Music Night’ and ‘Songs of Praise’. Leigh has also performed with orchestras such as the Royal Philharmonic and London Handel Players. She will be supported on the evening by her husband, Stefan Andrusyschyn, playing the keyboard and accordion.

Hello all! By the time you read this, we’ll have had several Pantomime rehearsals under our belts for ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’. This year, we only have a very small Chorus.

As autumn and winter approach are you looking for new pastimes and ways to meet people? Perhaps you remember country dancing at school, or enjoyed a Barn Dance/Ceilidh and would like to try other English dances?

During the summer holidays tennis sessions took place at the club for children aged from three to seventeen. It was a great opportunity for some children to try tennis for the first time and for other children to continue playing during the summer holidays. Over 150 children attended the sessions so it was a busy time for Mati and his coaching team!
