Summer Weekend 20-22 July 2007 at Urchfont Manor The Take 20 Week end 2007 is at U rchfont Manor, near Devizes in Wiltshire. Urchfont is a small village in the green rolling countryside of Wiltshire. Although further from London than some of our other destinations, the house and grounds are beautiful. In the village there is a typical country pub within easy walking distance, and it is generally agreed that the food is excellent – Urchfont Manor even publish their own cookbook. We begin on Friday evening with supper and a free evening, followed by a full day on Saturday learning new repertoire. On Saturday evening we have traditionally put on a cabaret for each other – all contributions very welcome – featuring anything vocal from poems, arias, madrigals, barbershop and close harmony to instrumental solos and duets. Join in – it is a great opportunity to try things out on an enthusiastic audience. On Sunday morning we continue rehearsing and after lunch we have an informal ‘sing- through’ for a small local audience and visitors. Accommodation at Urchfont is divided between four buildings: the Manor House; the Coach photos from House, Seymour House and Fiddlers Cottage. Urchfont 2005 All rooms except the cottage have en-suite accommodation. Please can everyone who is coming return the booking form to Belinda as soon as possible, together with a £30 deposit or the full amount, stating your preferred accommodation (allocated on a first come first served basis). Further details regarding travel arrangements etc will be sent nearer the time, but please remember that Urchfont is approximately 90+ miles from London, so an early start on the Friday afternoon is advisable. We hope you can come, and look forward to hearing from you. Please reply to: Belinda Magee, 2 Mount Hey Somerton Somerset TA11 7PG belinda@ mageedesign.co.uk.
