Silent Auction Feedback, by Anne Viner
As one of the auction lots, Barbara Thompson took Sheila Hylton and me to see the snowdrops at Colesbourne Park, near Cirencester on Saturday 28th February. We had a splendid day out, stopping for coffee at Buscot Lock and lunch at North Cerney, then on to Colesbourne for a wonderful spread of snowdrops, with aconites and cyclamen mixed in around the big tree roots and beautiful reflections in the BlueLake.
Here are some pictures: Anne Viner enjoying her Silent Auction purchase

SCCS Performed Works archive
Eric Hartley has been kind enough to maintain a list of all works SCCS has sung since the choir’s inception in 1952. (Eric was not singing in the choir then!)
There are two versions of this list which contain exactly the same information but have been sorted differently. View the same list sorted either by year, or by composer. To see these nostalgic documents click on the relevant title below:
Who’s Who?

The M Room
This book, by Helen Fry, is the story of the German émigrés who fled Hitler’s regime and became secret listeners for British Intelligence during the Second World War. One of the ‘listeners’ featured, is Fritz Lustig, who is still alive and is married to Susan Lustig, an ex-member of SCCS.
