around the villages — 1 Music friends raise £1,300 for FoStAC projects The Friends of St Andrew's Church's (FoStAC) third successful music evening on Saturday 30 April raised £1,300 for 'restoration and beautification' work on the church building. The evening was once again led by Ascot Brass, and directed by David Rudd. As well as varied items and solos by Ascot Brass, the programme included the Bulmershe Singers, the Bulmershe Ensemble choirs from Bulmershe School, and soloist Celeste Hexter, from the St Andrew's Church Junior Choir. Celeste was accompanied by Ian Westley. FoStAC’s next event will be in The Ark at St Andrew's when they will be providing refreshments for visitors to the Sonning Scarecrow Trail on 2-3 June. You will also be able to find some 'scarecrows' in The Ark gardens. It's not too late to book for a Scarecrow Barbara Carr, one of the Scarecrow Trail organisers, tells us that there may still be time to enter a Scarecrow if you do it now! Unregistered scarecrows will not be included on the trail map, so contact her as soon as possible on Barbara.carr71@hotmail.co.uk or 0118 934 5886.

They have been busy preparing for their exhibits, including their scarecrow — The Queen Bee. They are highlighting the need to look after bees as they are vital in pollinating the plants we need, and they are also 'nodding' to the Jubilee and our Queen. The picture above was taken when the group were preparing for their Jubilee Scarecrow exhibition. It shows Pauline Simpson, Kay Mottram, Joan Sedgewick, and Joan Baines painting stones which form part of their exhibition. They look forward to seeing you there! Planning Your Traditional Wedding?
