Hello everyone, just to remind you that the Pink Singers are hosting two social events on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. All proceeds go to the Pink Singers and will help fund two trips abroad which we have planned for this year. So please come along and support us, everyone’s welcome! Full details are below and at http://www.pinksingers.co.uk/2_1.html
Tuesday 21st March, 7.45pm – a night at the theatre!
We have a number of cut-price tickets to see “Old Big ‘Ead” in The Spirit of the Man by Stephen Lowe, showing at the beautiful Richmond Theatre in southwest
"A play which everyone can enjoy" (The Guardian)
"The fun is tremendous. An overwhelming success" (The Times)
The Spirit of the Man is a brand new play about Brian Clough, the greatest football manager
Not one to take death lying down, Old Big ‘Ead jumps at the chance of returning to this earthly realm to dispense his own special brand of inspiration. But there’s one thing he hasn’t bargained on: it’s a writer-director called Jimmy who’s in need of assistance, and his personal and professional life is falling apart at the seams. Then finally with Jimmy’s play written and a bunch of dysfunctional actors thrown together, Clough wastes no time in helping to knock the team into shape.
This is a production that has something for everyone, from the most theatre-shy football fan to the most sports-hating culture vulture and everybody in between. The Spirit of the Man takes Cloughie away from the realm of football and into a more unusual world of theatre with some tremendously funny moments. It has music, a play-within-a-play, poignant moments, belly laughs by the bucketload and a huge sense of spectacle!
Wednesday 22nd March, 7.30–10.30pm – Race Night at Bar Aquda,
“Buy” or bet on a horse and have the chance of winning cash and/or one of several prizes, including two nights bed and breakfast in
Feel the thrill of the race, from the comfort of Bar Aquda. Have a flutter and the excitement of willing your horse to win.
Intrigued? Throughout the evening, seven horse races will be shown on a big screen at Bar Aquda. Before the event, you have the opportunity to “buy” a horse for the bargainous sum of £5, name it whatever you like (here’s an opportunity to come up with some witty/camp/saucy suggestions!) and have your name in the programme. If your horse wins the race, you win a prize such as a meal for two at
You can also just turn up on the evening without having purchased a horse and instead have a flutter with the chance of winning cash.
In the last race, all the horses are auctioned off. If you buy a horse in this race and it wins, you will win two nights bed and breakfast in
Lastly, and on a different note…
Tales of the Pinkie!
In the run up to our 25th anniversary we are collecting stories of what it is and was like to be a Pink Singer in the last two decades. We'd really like to hear from you if you were in the choir in the late 80s and/or throughout the 90s.
What are your recollections of the choir, especially in those early days? Who were the other choir members? How did you get in touch? Where did you rehearse? What did you sing? Now is the time to share those memories, and help give the Pink Singers an even deeper sense of heritage.
This is an ongoing project, so your words will continue to be added to our pages. We would be really grateful if you could share your stories, and please do pass on the word to any Pinkie you are still in touch with! Please contact: webmaster@...
