By Miranda on June 8, 2010

The evening session continues at the church at 6.00pm with Secondary age Vocal Classes, Adult Vocal Classes, Adult Choirs and Vocal Groups. The evening is expected to finish at approximately 9.00pm.

A Plethora of Piano Solos

Friday evening is dedicated to young pianists studying Piano at grades Preliminary, 1 and 2 and takes place in the Memorial Hall on Station Road.

Super Saturday!

Saturday morning starts early… At 9.00am the doors will be open at the Civic Centre ready for the Verse Speaking classes on the 1st floor and TV News Reading in the Mayor’s Parlour both of which start at 9.30am. On the ground floor of the Civic Centre  REFRESHMENTS will be on sale and you can view the ART EXHIBITION throughout the day. All art entries will be adjudicated at 6.00pm at which point awards will be presented. During the rest of the morning you can watch Duologue Acting, Solo Acting, Solo Mime, Duologue Mime, Memorised Prose, Prepared Prose Reading and “Logical Grumbling”. Followed in the afternoon by more Solo Acting, Verse Speaking, Prepared Prose Reading, Bible Reading, Solo Shakespeare Acting, Group Acting and Public Speaking.
