The United Warblers Singing Group

The United Warblers singing group is open to all and to everyone who likes to sing (or make a noise!) whatever the ability is.

We meet fortnightly in the main hall starting at 10am and finishing about 11.30am.

We don't claim to be Choristers but we are good enough! So, if you enjoy a sing, chat and a laugh - non serious, come along and give it a go! You have nothing to loose except perhaps your sanity!!!!!!

The Open Door Cafe is open for refreshments at the same time. Further information contact Kate Noon on T. 01590 677436.

Notes

Please note that as from April 29th Linda Lee will no longer be Lymington Hospital Chaplain. She is retiring after 14 years in the post. She thanks everyone for their prayerful support over the years and asks that you pray for her as she makes this significant change in her life.

Church Garden

Our small band of volunteers have been working hard this Spring, when the weather has permitted, to tidy the garden and make it ready for when the garden cafe reopens after Easter.

We have noticed that we now have a few gaps in the flower beds. The rose garden especially could do with three more rose bushes. So we are asking for donations so that we can purchase suitable plants. You may wish to donate in memory of a loved one. If you are interested please discuss with Anne Gaines or John Wiseman.

Another exciting development is a project to have part of the garden available for All Ability Access. As a starting point the Dementia Group who meet in the Church Hall have received a donation to make a Dementia Friendly Garden and already three raised flower beds have been erected in the lower part of the garden. The next stage is the planting a range of sensory plants. These will include those with bright colours, different scents and ones you can touch and feel.

If you feel you can assist with this contact me.
