Snowy England

 

The UK is covered in a blanket of snow this month and as Fiona has taken a few casual shots of her garden, we thought you would like to see how beautiful the Heart of England is looking right now.

The Proms Comes to Northamptonshire!

 

 

Rushden HallFiona enjoyed an end of summer Promenade Concert, as the Town Mayor organised a charity evening to raise funds for our local Air Ambulance Service this September.

 

Held in the grounds of Rushden Hall, in our neighbouring town, we enjoyed a night of popular classics, all played by Rushden Windmill Brass Band

The weather was very mild, but we’ve learnt in this country that once the sun goes down in autumn, the coats, hats and blankets have to come out, so there was a sea of wrapped up people spread all over the park after sunset, most enjoying champagne picnics!

 

Proms in the ParkAll the usual classical favourites were played and we enjoyed a very special performance from ‘El Gringo’ (one of the Band members, amusingly  dressed up as a Mexican Cornet soloist – and very good he was too!).

 

Three soloists joined the Band for the final, rousing songs of the evening and we were all given Union Jack flags to wave as ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ ended the night.

 

Mayor Gill Mercer (who kindly supplied the photos from the evening) arranged the event to raise funds for the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance.

 

Proms in the ParkThey’re operated as a charity, without any Government funding and welcome lots of opportunities to publicise their service and raise money.

 

Our Proms in Park netted UK£1,000 towards their running costs for the next year.

 

The Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance provides an emergency medical service for the heart of England, taking the hospital to the patient and getting senior doctors and consultants to the scene of incidents, as quickly as possible.

 

If you’d like to learn more about their work, please link to their site at www.wnaa.co.uk

 

WNAA will hold their 7th Annual Rescue Run in Northamptonshire on 5 September 2010 and they need a main sponsor for the event. 

 

If you can put them in touch with someone who can find just UK£1,500 to support them, please contact Tracy Grunwell, Regional Fundraising Manager, WNAA on +44 782 5634103, or email her at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
