Your Feedback

During the last weeks we received some feedback about activities and changes our members would like. As a result we have changed the starting time of the Anglo German Circle to 19:00 instead of 19:30. Perhaps some of you are now more inclined to come. Another wish was for activities outside the YMCA in the afternoon. Therefore we took the musical Chess on 16 May into the programme. If you have any other suggestions that haven’t been met yet, don’t be shy about letting us know and we will see what can be done.

To be a Pilgrim …

… our Chaplain Udo Bauer will walk with his family 19.5 miles from Swanley to Aylesford on the way to Canterbury. It starts 8:00 at Swanley Station. You are all invited to join them and their efforts to raise funds for The Connection at St Martin’s in the Fields, a homeless charity. You can book a place with Eugene Ling on 020 8877 5555 (Ext. 521). If you can’t join the walk, perhaps you’d like to encourage the Bauer’s effort with a financial contribution to their fundraising?

Bring and Buy

February’s Bring & Buy generated £600 for Open Age, a charity championing an active life for older people. Many thanks to donors, customers and helpers!

Schubert Society Singer Prize 2016

Eleanor Penfold (soprano), the Schubert Society Singer Prize winner for 2016, gave her Schubertiade recital on 21 January 2018. It was a wonderful concert and everyone enjoyed it. You can see it on Eleanor’s face as she gets her certificate and is allowed to hold the Singer statue once more.
