If you weren’t at the Festival Hall in Alderley Edge on Saturday the 28th January, you missed a treat. We held the first District Talent competition for a long time. In the first half, six teams battled to win a new District Trophy and in the second half we had more entertainment. Network provided three excellent judges (Robson, Chives and Laura) who did a great job. The winners were 6th Cubs with an excellent Shark song, second were 6th Scouts with a gruesome Doctors sketch and third were 5th Beavers with a cute Rollover song. Honourable mentions go to the Band, Lindow Scouts and Active Support.
In the second half, Bella French and Laura Toombs brought “culture” to the evening with some ballet. The tone was immediately lowered by Chris Wright and his shaving sketch (and yes I did get wet !) Tim Povall attempted to recreate the last night at the Proms and Ken Wallace got everyone singing some old favourites with his accordian. The evening finished off with the traditional “We’re riding along on the Crest of a Wave”. Did I mention, the whole evening was compered by Derek Wiles looking very smart in his dinner jacket.
Everyone got a special badge and, more importantly, sixty points towards their Cheshire Challenge! Many thanks to Jackie Toombs and her extensive team for a super evening. Will there be a competition next year ………..let’s see!
Fact of the evening, Harold Horry our illustrious President confessed that he sang in the hall when he was at school in, I think he said, 1937 !
