🎄Advance Notice 🎄

On the 9th of December we will be hosting our end of year Christmas Concert.

🎄This year the concert will be graced by children from St George’s RC Primary School who will delight us with a medley of Christmas Songs.

🎄We will then enter the world of academia as our u3a takes part in a Christmas University Challenge match. Come and support the teams as they test their knowledge under the stern gaze of our own Bamber Jeremy Gasgoine Packman!!

🎄Our favourite Aughton guitar group will return to get your feet tapping to the songs we all know and love before we bring the house down with a rendition of the Twelve Days of Christmas! (Let’s see if we can get it right this year!!)

🎄Programmes will be on sale starting on the 11th or 18th of November (depending on printing) at a cost of £2.00.
All proceeds will go to Woodlands Trust.
