Easter Monday 28th March 2005
If music be the food of ... Tilletts, play on!

a surprise concert to bid farewell to Cassie & Selwyn as they move to Norfolk

 

We should have known.  It seemed to have been very quiet amongst our musical friends during the weeks leading up to our move from Beddington to Norfolk; and as Easter Monday 1995 was our wedding day, we shouldn't have been too surprised that a great deal of subterfuge had taken place to provide us with a fabulous entertainment - not only by many of the Chimes crew, but also members of St Mary's congregation, including the Families Group, the handbell ringers and the Mothers' Union.  It couldn't have been a better farewell.  Especially to be thanked are Melanie and the Akhursts for co-ordinating, and Leon for being MD.

More photos can be found here (courtesy of Melanie Short); the lovely image below (click on it for a larger version) shows nearly all the gang who had performed that night back at the Rectory after the concert - except Melanie, who sadly had already gone home, having a fair distance to travel.  Thank you, all.
