What a wonderful time we had last night at 'The Sound of Musicals' with amazing performances from Martin Vander Weyer, Natasha Jones, Ken James, Florrie Needham and Kate Fenton at the piano. Thanks to all involved for arranging such a special evening! I said yesterday that this weekend we’re celebrating 150-year anniversaries at two of our wonderful local primary schools. The event today at Egton School has just come to a close, but please note that, sadly, tomorrow’s celebrations in Lealholm have been postponed due to the rain.
