On a lovely June afternoon, a group of Capel Ladies Club members met together for coffee and cakes at Constable Park, the water sports and camping centre near Brantham. No – we weren’t going to take to our canoes or anything like that – it was just a good opportunity for a chat over tasty refreshments amid very pleasant surroundings. One of our last coffee and cake afternoons under the title of Capel Ladies Club, which – after nearly 55 years – is closing at the end of July! But never fear – there is a new club on the horizon, as lots of us didn’t want closure and are still keen to meet up as a group. WATCH THIS SPACE!!!

Our second activity this month was our annual summer visit to the Orchard Players’ Summer Show at the start of July, called ‘It’s ShowTime’. And WHAT a show it was! Packed full of well-known and less familiar songs from the musicals! With some wonderful performances from the junior members, plus both stirring and emotional items from the adults. It was a lovely, lively mix!

Great choreography, and always something to watch on stage, and the live band were brilliant as usual! Such a variety of outfits, too, with lots of costume changes and plenty of sparkles glittering under the lights! So many words to learn, tunes to sing and moves to perfect – all performed without a hitch! Congratulations, Orchard Players, on another fabulous show!

Just our Summer Farewell Lunch to go, now, for Capel Ladies Club, at the Hintlesham Golf Club at the end of July. Watch out, though – something NEW is on the horizon…

…so, WATCH THIS SPACE!!!
