A fantastic concert last night in Bottesford, and we are delighted that Friends of St Mary's raised a total of £714.75. What a lovely audience, and Alex Robinson was certainly a dynamic and inspiring Musical Director

Some of these proceeds will go towards the upgrading of electric lighting in Church, the remainder starts our donation to the next project required which is likely to be improved parking for those visiting Church or attending a service to use.

Helix has been working hard with our Musical Director Alex Robinson preparing for our next concert in Bottesford. The wind players were sounding fantastic as ever, and our talented horn players have the most amazingly wild music in the Haydn symphony. The Helix Ensemble musicians know each other so well, and there is always such a happy atmosphere in our rehearsals and concerts.
