Dear all,

 16 strings, 8 dancing feet and 4 voices in 1 hilarious electrifying show! Graffiti Classics are a comedy string quartet who never sit down, bursting the perceived elitist boundaries of classical music with their all-singing, all-dancing musical comedy show.
Wickedly funny, the group energetically leap and clown their way through an eclectic musical landscape from Beethoven to Elvis, all virtuosically accompanied on their instruments. This group is on a mission: to make classical music irresistibly fun. This isn’t a classical concert - it's a crazy mix of musical comedy, gypsy-folk, opera, bluegrass, stand-up comedy and dance, all tied together with cheeky audience interaction. Our next WI open meeting will be a presentation of TV Memories of Westmorland and Cumberland. Our speakers, Jim Bownass and Andrew Leitch, used to work for BBC and Border TV and now run the Cumbria Film Archive, a huge library of rare films from the area. They will focus their talk on information from our locality.
New members and visitors are welcome from 8pm. Admission cost is £4 to include tea and cakes. Call Sue Griffiths on 07718 904082 or Liz Threadgold on 07894 710014 for more information. Hope to see you there! The AGM for Helsington and Brigsteer village hall will take place in the hall on Monday 28th July at 7.30pm. We hope that you will join us.

Sally Pomme Clayton Sly, subversive, spectacular – pioneering storyteller Sally Pomme Clayton evokes powerful goddesses from across the globe. Follow the goddess: creator, virgin, lover, mother, warrior, crone. Meet: Vesta the fiery virgin warrior; Cybele, the mother goddess who fathered a child; Ishtar, Goddess of Love and War who journeys to the Land of the Dead. Pomme entwines myths with memories, spells with songs, comedy with ceremony. She brings ancient myths to contemporary life with dynamic spoken-word, strange musical sounds, gesture, ritual and the chance to receive a message from the goddess’s oracle! stealingthunder.co.uk/storynights
This illustrated talk by author and Helsington resident David Fairs tells his own extraordinary, but true, story in 3 acts.

Hello Bowlers
Short Mat Bowling will start again on Monday 13th January, 7.30 pm to 9.30pm. All welcome. Please bring soft indoor shoes or bowling in socks is equally good. We have to pay the standard charge of £16 for Monday evenings. My proposed charges are as follows: 6 bowlers = £3 each. 5 bowlers = £3.50 each. 4 bowlers = £4 each. 3 bowlers = £5.50 each. 2 bowlers - very rare - £8 each. When the slight overpayments - charged to avoid loose change shrapnel being required - add up to £16, we will have a free week. As always, I shall continue to supply the tea, milk, sugar, and biscuits out of my own pocket and at no cost to you. Thank you, Peter Jensen. |
