GERMAN CHOIR VISIT – From April 16 to 19, Village Voices played host to 26 members of the Schwesing Choir from Husum in northern Germany. They were paying a return visit following Village Voices’ trip to Germany in March 2008.

The choir enjoyed a full programme of events including guided tours of Hereford, Wye Valley Brewery and the black and white villages. They gave a concert in Stoke Lacy Church. It was a wonderful few days and it is hoped to be able to take up the invitation to Schwesing next year.

WI - The Much Cowarne WI will meet at Stoke Lacy Village Hall at 7.30pm on May 8. Mary, Lizzie and Linzie will be demonstrating jewellery, bags and accessories, and the competition will be for the prettiest bracelet.
