Having spoken to my sister, and to the nice Mr Heath this afternoon on getting back from climes North of London, I can verify that it was a stunningly good evening (sob, gulp!! still gutted to have missed it). A very nearly full house, and continuing WELL past normal finishing up time. Quote from sister "I didn't want it to end!" . I gather that people turned up from quite some distance away, and that the gathered congregation turned in some good chorus singing .All good news in terms of the club ... perhaps not what I wanted to hear as someone who had been looking forward to the evening for quite some time !!

Thanks for the kind words Kitty - it was fun to present the show again - and nice to hear the chorus to the carol at the end being sung with gusto. It (almost) makes up for missing the Wilsons ... sigh. (And a spooky point - I'd forgotten until my sister reminded me that the Walter Rose,after whom the room we were in was named, was actually a member of our family on my mum's side (what it is to have a geneaologist in the family!!)
