Grand Charity Supper & Concert - 19 February 2016

Friday 19th February

Put the date in your diary right now.

In Pillaton Village Hall at 6pm there will be a delicious 2 course supper by Shirley Floyd – if you haven’t tasted Shirley’s cooking you have missed out!

The hall only has room for 60 so hurry and make your booking to Tony Rowe

At 7.30pm we will have a wonderful concert with the Kelliwik Workshop Orchestra under the musical direction of Katherine Reeves and led by Margaret Morris - an orchestra of 24 local musicians plus a choir under the direction of Katherine Bunkum to entertain you with a diverse repertoire of music to delight you.

From the first ‘Ave Verum’ with the full choir and orchestra through flutes and strings to piano, violin and vocal solos, folk songs, string quartet and ending with a crescendo of Trelawney by the assembled company.

St Odulph church has never seen the like and you will be very privileged to witness the event.

At the supper, refreshments of soft drinks and wine will be available by donation; in the concert interval soft drinks and wine plus tea and coffee will be available in the church.

It is recommended that you bring a cushion for the church and are encouraged to reserve your place with your cushion before supper. I will have ‘reserved’ signs for you if you have not brought a cushion.

The GoGo trust is a worthy recipient of the lion’s share of the money that the evening will raise. It is an NGO caring for and supporting widows, orphans and vulnerable children in Port Elizabeth South Africa. GoGos or grandmothers, are the remarkable African women who are the backbone of the families and communities. These grandmothers care for and support their grandchildren who have become AIDS orphans due to the HIV/AIDS pandemic affecting South Africa.

The GoGo Trust is a charity dear to the heart of the Rotary Club of Callington and is overseen by a local person now living in South Africa who reports back regularly and ensures that every penny gets to the people we are aiming to help.

The church fabric fund will also be helped by the evening.

The cost for this delightful evening is only £15 per head for supper and concert or £6 for the concert alone.
