Are you looking for something to do on a Monday evening? Want to blow away the winter blues and tune up those vocal chords?

Hemyock Singers have just begun rehearsals for their concert to be performed at St Mary's Church on Thursday 5th April.

'Requiem' by Bob Chilcott is the work chosen and is a beautiful modern setting to well loved words.

Hemyock Singers meet at the Baptist Chapel at 7.30pm for around 2 hours and new members are always welcome. Why not come along one evening and meet us, we're a friendly bunch of folk.

This website, hemyock.org, is a community-run website for local people to advertise their forthcoming events and achievements.  It was designed as a central place where people don't have to search specifically for things and avoid the problems that local groups have in getting people to visit isolated websites.  We get about 200 people visiting per day, or 6000 a month.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Heard it all before.  After Christmas you'll change your life and lose at least a stone, right?!

You'll get fit and have more energy.  You'll feel more positive and will get more done.  This year without fail.

Why doesn't it ever happen?  Time and effort usually.

This year, we think we might just have the answer on your door step...
