On 24th February, the BlewSing singers combined with some Upton readers
for a celebration to mark the completion of the new WC and kitchen
facilities in St. Mary’s church. The singers, under the direction
of Mark Stanley, were on top form and their six very varied
songs were much enjoyed by the sizeable audience. And who will
forget Malcolm Wright’s hilarious performance as Noah
trying to find excuses for delays in completing the Ark? (speaking
of which, we are assured that the new path around the church will be completed ‘any day soon’!).
Tea and cakes, served from the new kitchen, followed and
at the end of the afternoon we all felt the new facilities were well and truly launched!
We’re still planning some work inside the church to make the
space more flexible for a variety of uses.
In the meantime the facilities are available free of charge to Upton residents, subject to prior booking through Paul Batho (pjsbatho@btinternet.com) or Jessie West (jessie@blueshapes.com).
