MUSIC IN THE GARDENS MOVES TO LLANDUDNO

Submitted by Anonymous on 2 October 2017

This last weekend was our District’s annual conference, held in Llandudno. Lots of good speakers, and an opportunity to meet friends from other clubs.
On Saturday morning, the highlight for me was a presentation about Music In The Gardens. Our President Andy Bates told the story of the event, and the co-operation between clubs to provide a real piece of entertainment for a very large number of people. Alex Ritchie from Abbeydale talked about major fund raising for a number of charities, and presented cheques for some £3,400 each to Rotary Foundation and Aquabox. There was a video covering the setting up, the acts on stage, and comments from the organisers and the public. The very last couple to comment said “a wonderful event, as always”; good comment, and I should know, the people being interviewed were Rona and Graham!
Music In The Gardens really is a brilliant event, and it is good to see how well it is received.
