![]() “A truly delightful and heart warming evening listening (and tapping our feet!) to Christmas tunes played by this dedicated team of enthusiastic handbell ringers. The programme included “It’s the Most Wonderful time of the Year” , “Jingle Bells”, “We Three Kings”, “Winter Wonderland”, “Once in Royal David’s City” and many more! Before each piece was played, a member of KIPHRA read out a Christmas themed poem. Some were amusing; some were meaningful; all were very thought-provoking and added greatly to the lovely seasonal feel of the evening. During the interval we had some delicious mulled wine and mince pies. THANK YOU KIPHRA for another exceptional concert.” The author of this piece forgot to take her camera with her! A missed opportunity of taking a photo of Santa hats being worn by 15 handbell ringers and with the background of the lovely Christmas decorations at Kelsey Hall. |
![]() Everyone was welcome to attend this illustrated lecture by Clive Anderson, an experienced British Museum guide, and author of the book ‘Archaeological Evidence for the Bible’. “Clive gave a very informative and entertaining talk about well known and recent archaeological finds in the British Museum that confirm the historical accuracy of the Bible text. The event was very well attended and the audience were very appreciative of the talk, asked many questions and enjoyed the refreshments that followed.” Paul Thompson, Ifold Christian Fellowship For more information on Ifold Christian fellowship please click HERE |

![]() ![]() It was a delight to welcome so many people in to Kelsey Hall on the afternoon of Sunday 28th October to help celebrate the completion of the refurbishment of the hall following the flood in late-July. The refurbished parquet floor was greatly admired. All the regular user-groups were there to show-case the many and varied activities which take place at the hall. Visitors enjoyed complimentary tea and cake whilst chatting with friends and neighbours.

Thank you again. All the best. Aidan”.

The main course had been cooked by committee members and was kept warm in the oven of the newly refurbished kitchen. Waiters were on hand to serve the hot food and this was followed by “help yourself” delicious desserts made by club members. Once the food had been cleared away it was time for dancing! This was interspersed with a few games, as ever excellently organised by our Chairperson, Vickie, plus a table quiz and a raffle with many great prizes. Although numbers were down this year due to the ‘coughing bug’ which is sweeping through the area, there were still more than enough party-goers to make it a memorable and enjoyable evening.” |
