Music director Merel van der Knoop takes a bow!

We have had a very successful and enjoyable Christmas season with three events all well patronised and, as people said, some lovely singing. That has been in no small part to Merel who has been leading us this term while AmyBeth has been taking time off to have her baby. At today's Railstaff event we heard readings from, among others, the Chair of the House of Commons Transport Committee, Lilian Green MP, the Chief Executive of RSSB, Mark Phillips, and our very own soprano and train driver extraordinaire, Maddy Corper. Millie Stokes sang the first verse of Once in Royal David's City (what a lovely voice!) and Sarah Best played the organ for us. How can I sum up a very successful year? One picture tells a thousand words, and the shot below, taken by Catherine, is all that I can say - but what a beautiful flower arrangement by Gabi!
