Autumn 2025

After a lovely concert in Falmouth with special guests St Stythians Band and Shirley Tyack, we are now looking forward to a return visit to St Elwyn’s Church in Hayle on Thursday 20 November.

In December we have evening carols in the Carnon Community Methodist Church on the Friday 5th, as part of the Christmas Tree Festival, and afternoon carols at Baldhu Church on Sunday 7th, an invitation to Perranwell Village Hall to join the Perranwell Community Choir’s concert on Saturday 13th, and will be joining the Community Carols at 3pm on Sunday 14th at Stithians Methodist Church.

Looking Back and Forwards

We thoroughly enjoyed the summer concert, just over two weeks ago now, at the Princess Pavilion. A warm sunny evening (a little too hot for some) provided the backdrop for a varied programme of music laced together with a theme of peace and joy. In addition to the choir pieces there were solos from choir members – vocal, instrumental and poetical – as well as a singing trio and the delightful Carrick Consort recorder group.

After a well-deserved short summer break, rehearsals begin again tonight at 7.30pm at The Hub, Carnon Downs (in the hall next to the Methodist Chapel). Anyone interested in joining the choir is very welcome to come along on a Thursday evening to see what we get up to.

Thanks to our choir supporters Peter and John for the photos of the evening.

Summer is coming!

Despite the wind and greyness today, Stithians Ladies are full of the joys of summer and busy getting ready for our next concert. We are happy to say that our new Musical Director is settling in well, and we are delighted that Rico agreed to take us on. We have been busy rehearsing a range of new songs, including the lively medieval Sumer is icumen in, as well as more modern tunes and some old favourites. We will be at the Princess Pavilion in Falmouth on Monday 22 July, as part of their Summer Sounds programme, please come and join us for an entertaining evening.

🧑🏻‍🎄 That’s a wrap! 🧑🏻‍🎄

The final Christmas event for this year!

Stithians Ladies led the singing at The Hub Carnon Downs Methodist Church “Carols for All” and had a lovely time. The traditional carols, accompanied on the organ by Choir Chairman Peggy, were interspersed with poems and Christmas songs to backing tracks.

The Ladies were once again joined by the Stithians Signers – a remarkable group who have been learning British Sign Language under the guidance of Christopher Gould. They signed while we sang “Silent Night” and it was beautiful.

We now have a break for the festive season and look forward to more singing, fund raising amd friendship in the new year.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

TO ALL OUR FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS

✨🌟✨

SUCCESSFUL SATURDAY

The Ladies were invited to sing at The Golden Lion Inn, Stithians to enhance the festivities of their Christmas Market. It was a lovely occasion in a relaxed atmosphere and our mascot, Betty, made her debut appearance!

Here are the Ladies enjoying their break from singing. We were delighted to welcome retired member Lee who delighted everyone with “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree “

Sopranos Viv and Trixie adding a touch of Christmas glamour

All in all everyone enjoyed themselves and we look forward to a return visit next year.
