The 2012 Summer Concert was our best yet with a full house of appreciative people who even requested an encore!  Thank you everyone for coming along.

We'd especially like to thank Lucia Rojek for her wonderful performance and also Paul Maynard MP for supporting the concert and presenting the choir's donation of £500 to Margaret and Keith Willan for The Meningitis Trust in support of their participation in the Great Wall of China Trek 2012.

On the night £201 was made on the raffle of which half has been donated to Blackpool Sixth Form College in appreciation for Lucia's performance and the other half will also be donated to the Meningitis Trust.

_In October, Margaret Willan (one of our Soprano 1s), will be undertaking the Great Wall of China Trek 2012 on behalf of the Meningitis Trust.  Over the course of ten days she will trek along parts of the Great Wall rarely visited by others and through the national Black Dragon Paw park.

To do the challenge Margaret needs to raise a minimum of £2,850 in donations. This is no easy feat for Margaret, who is one of our longest serving choir members (23 years).  The Capricorn Singers are supporting Margaret and will be providing a donation to help her with her challenge.

If you would like to know more about the Great Wall of China Trek visit the Meningitis Trust website or if you would like to support Margaret with a donation visit her Grand Ma's page at JustGiving.com which is http://www.justgiving.com/Margaret-Willan


The proceeds from our Special Summer Concert on 23 June 2012 7:30pm Thornton Little Theatre are going to support Margaret and the Meningitis Trust.
