The Harborough Singers Christmas Concert with celebrity guest Jemma Redgrave is heading for a sell-out. Jemma, renowned actress and fourth-generation member of the famous Redgrave acting dynasty, had been due to appear with the choir at the same concert last year, until Covid very sadly caused the event to be called off at the last-minute.

Following on from the success of our concert in October, we were very excited to hand over £1,000 to each of our chosen charities for the event – COPS (Care of Police Survivors) and GEMS. Both Peter Fahy and Tim Buckley from COPS were absolutely  made up and chuffed to bits! Amazing – you put the fun into fundraising!”

KGSH are sad to announce that at the last trustees meeting, Paul Scourfield said that he was stepping down as a trustee.

Rehearsals for our March Production of ‘A Bunch of Amateurs’ have begun in earnest, with a lot of work being done on the script and characterisation. Director Alison Langrick is very pleased with the progress that we are making and this is already looking as if it will be a very entertaining production. Certainly, if it causes as many laughs as the rehearsals are doing, then the audiences will be in for a very good time.

It was good to see so many people at the Remembrance Service Parade. We turned out a slightly smaller Band than normal – we were hit by Covid – and on this important day of the year it’s difficult to ‘borrow’ players because most bands are out.

Traditionally Christmas is a time to reflect on the year past and look to the future.
There have been many changes throughout the year too numerous to mention but we have still enjoyed a fabulous year and many thanks go to our team of green keepers who have done a sterling job keeping the course in pristine condition during the summer heatwave and more recently the extreme rainfall.

Our November meeting was a huge success, thanks to a wonderful member of the community, Jon Jones, who took time out from his busy life to help our group make some wooden Christmas decorations (as shown in photo).
