Over 100 choristers, family members and guests attended the Hostess Restaurant in Mansfield Woodhouse to enjoy a fantastic evening of entertainment to celebrate our 80th anniversary. The troupe of actors portraying the central characters from the hit 80s TV series Allo Allo were simply brilliant. We were all laughing and cheering at their slapstick antics and the comedy dinner arrangement worked so well. Our hosts provided a lovely meal, efficiently served and timed to fit with the unfolding story presented by hilarious actors.
During the evening the actor playing Rene the owner of the “umble café” explained that a German sausage was being used to conceal a bomb and that a second sausage was used to conceal the “Picture of the Fallen Madonna with the big boobies” by Van Clump.
Photographed here are Al and Roisin (pronounced Sheen for short) which was corrupted to Jean by Rene. Here is Jean looking after one of the sausages.- Hilarious!
One of our guests, Kelly Grey, had a photograph taken with the actors.
Geoff Hurtshouse, choir Chairman, spoke of the 80-year history of the choir and wished us all well in continuing the legacy followed by Ian Grice who led the choir to perform three songs, “Neapolitan Trilogy, “ Let it be me” and “African Prayer”.
These events bring the choir together so well. Our choir family keeps its strength through performing and the fellowship that these family events provide. It was a great “newt” for all concerned.
