Bon-Bons for Cassie
(Cassie's 40th Birthday Party Entertainment)
St Mary's Church, Beddington

This concert didn't previously feature on the website for the simple reason that the webmistress didn't know it was going to happen!!

Cassie was informed that there was a party happening on the 4th (two days before her actual birthday) with a "top secret guest list".  She'd have been surprised (and disappointed) if it hadn't included a substantial number of Chimes folks, and similarly a little entertainment.  What she wasn't expecting was a full evening's music, provided by many of her wonderful friends, ranging from Schubert, Offenbach and Bizet to her beloved Flanders & Swann and Stephen Sondheim. 

The party included guests from her family, genealogical colleagues, an ex-boss, college friends and many others - and those who had not heard Chimes performances before were in for a real surprise.  Melanie's husband Andrew took photographs; Leon recorded the concert on his faithful minidisc; and a magnificent time was had by all.

Thanks is far too small a word!
