Adventurous folks.

East Leake folks are nothing if not adventurous. Nearly 40 people turned up for The Big Sing on Saturday at St Mary's - as advertised, all ages came along for Suzzie Vango's workshops. We started at 10.30am and other than two short breaks and one for lunch we worked hard until 4.oopm. Suzzie taught us well and chivvied our motley crew into some sort of choir to provide around 20 people a concert at 4.30pm. Many thanks are due to Suzzie and Abi, our choirmistress for organising and running the most enjoyable day. Thanks are also due to those who provided drinks and lots of water to soothe thirsty throats throughout the day. Most of all thank you to all those folks who came along and sang their hearts out. If you enjoyed the day and would like another one some time, let us know by emailing us. We all brought packed lunches and were able to have a picnic outdoors thanks to the hot, sunny weather. The relaxed group in the photo was NOT suffering from exhaustion! A member of St Mary's congregation, Rex Davis will be risking life and limb in The Big Zip (June 12th and 13th) to raise funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care. It is a Zip wire challenge over the River Trent from the River Crescent Complex to Lady Bay - 220 metres across from a 30 metre platform. Each person hopes to raise at least £100, so please support Rex in his challenge. This is a very worthy cause.
