Our October meeting was preceeded by twenty
two members going out for lovely lunch at Boxted
[see photo]. Many thanks to the drivers involved.
Everything went off very smoothly.
A big thank you to our little bad of knitters
who made 165 small hats and pot holders for Age
Concern which will be sold on Innocent Drinks
[Sainsbury’s] and thank you Pauline Hurrell for
helping me get them to the day centre at Sudbury.
Our Christmas Party will be on 10th December
at 3pm in the Church Hall
No shopping! No cooking! No washing up! What a delight it was to go to Fillpotts for lunch before our
meeting on the afternoon of Thursday 8th October. A leisurely lunch when we could chat to our friends. The
food was good and served by a welcoming staff. Compliments to the chef – his ginger sponge cake was the best
ever!

On 12th November twenty three members and friends of the Over 60s’ Club went to Perrywood Nursery. After
looking around, with most people buying something, we had a very enjoyable lunch, quite a plateful very well
served. Returning to the coach we then went to the Factory Shop at Tiptree. Spending money again but getting
some bargains. We returned home again after a very enjoyable trip. Even the weather was nice! Thank you
very much Eva for organising it.

Our first winter league match on September 23rd was against Copdock & Washbrook, we
managed to beat them 6 points to 4, then on October 6th we went to Claydon things did not go quite so well here
and we only managed to score 2 points not a successful evening.
Chelmondiston came to us on October 14th this was a much better evening for us and we managed to beat
them 8 points to 2. we are the only team to beat them so far.
At the moment we are third in the division, lets hope next time I can say we are still there.
Fixtures:
December: 2nd Claydon home, 9th Gt. Blakenham home, 16th Martlesham home.
January: 27th Belstead away.

Nayland Choir hosted very successful Come and Sing event at the end of September. More than 60 singers
from all over the area spent the day rehearsing then performing Handel’s Messiah. It was a very enjoyable day
and raised much needed fundas for the choir. This means that we can afford to hire a small orchestra for the
December concert.
The Choir Winter Concert will feature more music by Handel including Four Coronation Anthems and
choruses from The Messiah. The concert will take place on December 5 th at 7:30 in St James’ Church. Festive
refreshments will be served during the interval.
Rehearsals start on 7 th January for our Spring concert. This will be a concert of secular music from around
Britain. Emma Bishton will be our guest conductor for the Spring term.
Nayland Choir is your village choir. We do not hold auditions – everyone is welcome. Please contact Elspeth
or simply come along to one of our rehearsals at Nayland School on Thursdays at 8pm.
