Sing for Water North 2016
This year’s Sing for Water North has now been launched! Sing for Water is a wonderful massed choir event which takes place in Albert Sq in Manchester on 12th June.

Marple Christmas Cracker Cancelled
Unfortunately due to adverse weather conditions the council has cancelled the Marple Christmas Cracker.

My sympathy goes to the organisers who must be very disappointed after all their hard preparation work.
