Reg's Renditions July 2019

I have been ambushed into making a few comments to accompany our new programme and newsletter. So here goes:

I remember my father once advising me not to look back as you cannot influence the past, you may, however, be able to exert some control over the future.

Whilst understanding the sentiment it is impossible not to sometimes think "what if?" With this in mind I was reflecting recently that it is now 18 months since we moved from Loughborough to our new home in East Leake. At that time we were all excited but a little apprehensive. I believe we all agree it was the right move at the right time.

One thing that has impressed me is the community spirit among the Traders, Businesses and Residents which is so evident in the village.

We hope we have, in some small way added to the diversity of the village and can play our part in ensuring that the various events continue to thrive.

One of the reasons for our move was the need for more space which has been more than fulfilled by our present premises as we now have two teaching areas for the range of workshops that we run (take a look at our current programme) We are delighted that so many of our cstomers from Loughborough still attend and equally that many from the village and surrounding area have joined us. We like to think that as well as learning a new skill or perfecting interests you already have, there is a strong social aspect.

I'll finish as i used to with a bit of nonsense (no comments please)

Question: What is a Harrier?

Answer: Someone who is more like Harry than Harry.

Till next time
