Quote of the week

Life isn't about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself'

George Bernard Shaw
If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?

Two musical evenings




Two musical events are coming up in the next few weeks.

Firstly, next Saturday, 19th November,  in St Lawrence’s Church, Little Waldingfield, Little Waldingfield Historical Society will host the Bury St Edmunds Male voice choir who will be singing a wide selection of songs, ancient and modern.

The concert starts at 7.30 p.m.  There will be a licenced bar for pre-concert and interval refreshments and there will also be a raffle.

Tickets are £8 each and can be obtained from:-
Di Langford, Pitt Cottage, The Street, Little Waldingfield 01787 248298
Sue Sheppard, School House, Church Road, Little Waldingfield 01787 247980

The concert is kindly sponsored by John Sparkes, proceeds will go towards the fabric of the church.
St Lawrence

Then on Saturday 3rd December at 7 p.m. at St Lawrence’s Church, Great Waldingfield there is a concert of Medieval Music by Hexachordia.   Tickets at £10 are available from Faith Marsden (312002) or Revd. Caroline (377287).

Taking a quick look at this trio’s website, I would say that the audience is in for a real treat!

Incidentally, does anyone know why the churches in both Waldingfields are named after Saint Lawrence?  Is it something to do with the fact that he is the patron saint of cooks?  I understand that 200 churches in England are named after this particular Saint and Martyr who died on a gridiron in Rome in the 3rd century,  but I am not sure why.
