around Great Britain.

December 2006 - Carols
in the Square
This
has become a regular event for the Lions. Every year we are joined by
the St. Laurence Choir the Winslow Concert Orchestra and the towns folk of Winslow, for traditional Christmas
Carols in the beautiful surroundings of the Winslow Market Square dressed
with decorative lights and the all important Christmas
Tree. Somehow Santa always finds out where we are and visits
during his busy schedule to say hello to all the children! Maybe
it’s the Mulled (non-alcoholic) Wine that attracts him. |
