Sessay Sing and Share
Our second Sing and Share session was held on Thursday, 28th August, with a small group of six meeting together. We began with a few simple songs and songs people brought to share. For now, we’ll continue gathering in each other’s homes, and if the group grows, we’ll look into using the village hall.
We plan to meet monthly, and our next session will be at Judith Ellis’s (Hedgeside) on Thursday, 25th September at 2:00 pm, just for an hour or so.
If you’d like to join us, please get in touch on 07904 769270.
