Elmdon Choral Society – Concert of Carols and Christmas Music

Elmdon Choral Society presents A Concert of Carols and Christmas Music at St. Nicholas Church on Thursday 4th December and at St. Mary’s Church Acocks Green on Saturday 6th December. Both concerts start at 7.30 p.m.

Tickets cost £6 and £5 concession (children free) including refreshments. Phone 743 9793 or 682 0957.

Cycle Races, Sunday 23rd November

Solihull Cycling Club will be holding their annual cyclo cross races in Elmdon Park on Sunday 23rd November from 8.30 a.m. to 3.00 p.m.  In previous years this has caused some problems with parking for the 10.30 a.m. service at St. Nicholas. It would be a good idea to share lifts, if possible, in order to reduce the demand on parking space.

Music Group

The music group will meet again on Sunday 16th November after the morning service at St. Nicholas (approx. 12.30ish). We will learn two new songs which will be used at the Parish Communion service on Advent Sunday, so all are welcome, whether or not you play a musical instrument. Please bring your own music stand if you plan an instrument and also let Ruth Chamberlain know if you require music.
