I just cannot believe how the time has slipped past so quickly - it only seems a moment ago that it was August and I had loads of time to sort out my Christmas shopping and now suddenly, turkey time is on us and I am frantically scooting around the shops trying to find the bargains! However, our annual Carol Concert is usually the signal that Christmas has truly arrived. It is the signal that festivities should start and I had better start wrapping! Once again this year's event was hosted by Big Al Elston who, as always, conducted the procedings with his usual panache to ensure that a good time was had by all. The refreshments were organised by Ann Jenkin and her team and the mulled wine and mince pies flowed! Thanks go to all involved in the event.
We are very lucky to have our own rehearsal space and not to have to hire halls to produce our shows. It is the home of HAODS and to this end I made a very special announcement at the concert that those of you who were not there may not have heard. The Committee have some really exciting plans for later in the year, but is also seriously looking into giving the space a really fundamental make-over in order that we can maximise its use. The first step is on this make-over road is to re-name the room. So from now on what was known as our Green Room, will from now on be called "HAODS Studio", which will reflect far more the image of the society. We can now really begin to get our name "out on the street" as there will be a new sign on the front door !
You can follow our plans and see details of new events on the website and on Twitter! - So get tweeting! It is in real time, so urgent news is available straight away!
It only remains for me to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
