We May Have Forgotten to Mention...

Hi everyone,

We're really hoping that you will have caught the Wrington website updates we've been posting, including the one inviting anyone to come and hear us give a brief talk at Wrington Chapel this Sunday 2nd September (tomorrow!) during the usual 9.30 service. Everyone is more than welcome :)

Apologies for the late notice, but supposing you are a casual follower of us who enjoys using the internet late at night, yet enjoys getting up early on Sunday mornings, you may be able to come, and you would be very welcome. We'll be showing some of our many photos of the trip, as well as sharing briefly what we made of the experience, thanks to all your help.

We hope to see you there!

We're Home...

Namaste everyone!

You'll be relieved to know that we're all finally home safely after nightmare delays and other travel issues both ways, but we've come back with the most amazing experiences and memories to share. We hope you all caught some of our updates on the Wrington website (http://www.wrington.net/archive/2012/georgiemarthajas.htm) while we were in Calcutta, but we'll give some more detailed reports of what happened soon.We've also got lots of videos and thousands of photos we want to share with you, so look out for those! 

Thank you all so much for all your help in getting us there, we had such a brilliant, unforgettable time!

India Here We Come...

Unbelievably, the moment has finally arrived, and the three of us are off to Calcutta, India tomorrow! We fly from Heathrow to Dubai (7 hours) and then on from there to Calcutta (or Kolkata, as it’s known locally!) via a five hour flight and will be doing the same in reverse on the 14^th August. Any last minute ideas for travel entertainment would be much appreciated…

The bags are packed, the jabs injected and the visas finally arrived (Halleluia!), but one thing that we must still do before we leave is thank you all for your continued support, financially, physically, spiritually and emotionally. We honestly could not have done this without you all, as being faced with the task of raising £3,000 at the beginning of this year (the final year of our A levels, no less!) was certainly not an easy one, nor a challenge we took lightly, but we are so thrilled to announce that because of your amazing generosity, creativity (so many brilliant fundraising ideas!) and dedication, we have succeeded in reaching that target.

The fundraising itself has been such a fun process, and we honestly can’t believe the response we have had, but knowing how much support we’ve received will only make the trip itself more fantastic and inspiring. We can’t wait!

Please do continue to pray for us for these next few weeks, and while the internet connection in Calcutta is reportedly not the best (!) we will try to keep you all informed of our progress, and plan to share all our stories and experiences properly with everyone when we get back. So, once again, thank you very much, and…wish us all the best!

Lots of love,

Georgie, Martha and Jas x  

A Round of Applause for Wrington Youth Drama...

We would just like to thank everyone who came out to see Wrington Youth Drama perform their 'Night at The Musicals' show at Chapel this evening. We hope you enjoyed yourselves, and are very grateful to you for your generous donations, especially when it came to cake!

We'd also like to thank Wrington Youth Drama for all their support, you've been incredible! We're sure those of you who attended will agree that all the performers were fantastic, as were their dedicated backstage support team of directors, choreographers and MDs, as well as costume, makeup, sound and lighting specialists, not to mention our amazing Front of House team! Again, thank you all so much, we love you!

'A Night At The Musicals' ON TOUR

Just a quick reminder that the wonderful Wrington Youth Drama have decided to take their show 'A Night At The Musicals' on tour to the West End of Wrington...the URC Chapel!

Doors open at 6.45 for a 7pm start on Tuesday 29th May, and you can get your tickets for just £3.50 on the door. Yummy homemade refreshments will also be available, so we hope to raise as much as we possibly can for our trip in what is likely to be our last ever fundraising event!

Please do come, and bring all your friends!

See you on Tuesday,

Georgie, Martha and Jas x

Successful Quiz Evening!

We'd just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who came out to support our Quiz Night at Wrington Chapel  on Friday evening. We hope you had a great time eating homemade lasagne and lots of delicious puddings, answering tricky questions and meeting some new faces. An extra-special well done to our winning team, 'The Latecomers', who successfully trumped the runners-up in a tie breaker question about the distance between Wrington and Calcutta. Any guesses? :)

Our thanks must also go to the wonderful people who supported us tirelessly on the evening, especially our 'Kitchen Staff' and of course to Quizmaster Steve and his glamorous assistant Caroline, as well as all you lovely people who donated lasagnes, raffle prizes or puddings.

We managed to raise an incredible £522.54, and we couldn't have done it without you!

Thank you so much again,

Georgie, Martha and Jas x

P.S. Our final event will be in collaboration with Wrington Youth Drama again, on Tuesday 29th May. More details to follow :)
