The Wonderyears at Wentworth Golf Club

We were fortunate to be invited back to the Wentworth Golf Club, for the second year running, to perform in their Christmas Concert.  These concerts are run yearly in their beautiful ballroom which is graced with chandeliers and magnificent paintings.  The proceeds of the concerts are given to a charity chosen each year by the Golf Club.
This year children from Abbey School in Farnham were first to perform and sang Christmas Carols, then it was our turn. Dave our MD encouraged the audience to sing along with us; as he does with all our concerts. We sang well known Christmas Songs including 'White Christmas' and Rocking Around the Christmas Tree'.  Two of our singers, Joan and Marianne, entertained with a Christmas skit.  After the interval we were joined by the Christ Church Choir and sang Christmas Carols. Ken Morgan, a member of both Wentworth and Christ Church gave a Christmas message based on the rules of golf.

We were all very well received and I might add very well looked after by the staff who supplied us all with excellent refreshments.
