I have just driven on the road for the A146 to Surlingham. The road is open in spite of at least four ‘Road closed’ signs. Presumably these have been left in position after flooding earlier today.

I accept no responsibility for this information – just trying to be helpful. Louise Swift.

There was a splendid atmosphere, Pimms and nibbles at Surlingham Broadnotes musical evening last Saturday.  In particular, both audience and choir had a real treat as they listened to professional guest soprano, Laura Morgan perform several songs. A sum of £75 profit from refreshments was made and will be put towards church building funds.  Surlingham Broadnotes choir meets most Wednesdays at the village hall and welcomes new members.  The choir sing a variety of music and all you need is an enthusiasm for singing. Use contact us or phone Karen on 01508 538591 for details.

Pippa Thurlow says ‘ Pippa will be at home in her studio at the Old Rectory, there will be some simple yarn based activities to have a go at and tea and I hope sunshine, some of the time.’

Surlingham is in for a treat this Saturday (21st) as professional soprano Laura Morgan will be guest soloist at this musical evening with Surlingham Broadnotes choir.

Pimms, fruit punch and canapés on arrival at 7pm at St Mary’s church, followed by a short programme of music. There is no charge of this event and everyone is welcome  However, there will be a collection towards the refreshments and St Mary’s Church.

If you have ever thought about doing some singing in a convivial atmosphere this might be an opportunity to see what Surlingham Broadnotes choir does.  Do speak to any choir member afterwards to find out more.
