WALGRAVE COMMUNITY CINEMA

SHORT-MAT BOWLS CLUB   The club meets at the Village Hall on Wednesday afternoons from 2pm - 4pm throughout the year. It is a very informal gathering but we do have occasional 'friendly' matches with other local clubs. We do not play in any leagues. We would welcome new members. Previous playing experience is not necessary and bowls can be provided by the club. Tuition can be given but most new players pick it up as they go along. If you are interested, come along and have a go - we would be delighted to see you.

VILLAGE VOICES   Contact: Pam Knight Meeting venue: The Baptist Chapel rooms every Thursday from 7.30pm - 9.30pm Village Voices was formed in September 1992 and has continued to flourish since. The music director is Ian Clarke who is also a very experienced organist. We now have about 30 members and sing a variety of music. We usually sing some sort of Christmas cantata or choral work which ends with audience participation. During the Lent Term we may sing anything from Faure Requiem to Rutter's Requiem, or maybe a Mozart Mass. In the Summer Term we sing a more lighthearted programme of music, which can range from Madrigals, Barber-shop, Spirituals, Nursery Rhymes but with jazzy harmonies. We finish with a concert in the Village Hall and a soloist is usually included, e.g., trombone, violinist, pianist, didgeridoo! Afterwards there is usually a cold buffet supper with wine. Anyone is most welcome to come along any Thursday to sing. No voice test is required. We welcome sopranos, altos, tenors and basses. If anyone needs to know more about the choir please contact Pam Knight.

WALGRAVE AMBER FC Meeting venue: Mawsley Walgrave is home to one of Northamptonshire's oldest football teams. Formed in 1896, the club played in the Northamptonshire League (subsequently to become the United Counties League), the Kettering & District Combination League, and more recently the Northants Central Combination League. In the last years of the 20th century, the club was forced to fold, and played for a while under the name Walgrave Royal Oak. After a gap of some 12 years, Walgrave Amber FC was reformed by David Rhodes. It formally re-affiliated with the Northants FA in 2007 and re-joined the Northants Combination League in time for the start of the 2008/9 season. The club's original nickname, The Pipe Stems, has only recently been unearthed. Walgrave Amber now plays its home games at the nearby new village of Mawsley. We also have a new club website: http://www.clubwebsite.co.uk/walgraveamber
