As we enter the final weekend of January, is it too late to reveal one of my New Year's Resolutions? My Resolution has been to blog more... So, that's gone well so far!
Seriously, I don't quite know where December and January have gone. One minute we were all rehearsing furiously for Trial by Jury and suddenly, BAM! we're having full read-throughs of Ruddygore. In between we have all worked super hard: Trial by Jury was a great success and a very enjoyable night (check out February's Herefordshire and Wye Valley Life for the write up and pictures), our Christmas party was a lovely get together at the end of the year, the Society's small Christmas concert at the Town Hall in December raised a wonderful £600 for our chosen charities of St Michael's Hospice and Help for Heroes, and last weekend the Roper family kindly held a fundraising masked soiree at their home where the small audience were treated to a beautiful violin recital from Hannah and the most gorgeous and tasty buffet ever laid on - I wasn't the only person who went back for seconds! As you can see from all the exciting events that have taken place over the last few months, the Society has had a jam-packed schedule and there will be plenty more exciting events this year too. Check out the Society website www.herefordgandssociety.org.uk for the dates calendar to see what the next event is to attend.
So, back to my resolutions. Is it too optimistic of me to hope I manage to write at least one blog entry a week? Watch this spot to see if my will power and blogging skills match for the rest of the year...
Wishing you all a belated Happy New Year!
'Dame' Hannah
