  • Great Barford Diamond Jubilee Celebrations -  June 2012

Monday 4th June 2012

Great Barford celebrated the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in style. As part of the celebrations the Alma Singers put on a short concert in the Village Hall. Our Musical Director was Graham Weeks and our accompanist was Tessa Wood. We did two 15 minute sessions with an interval between. Joe Lound-Keast videoed it for us and made a DVD so that members of the choir could see and hear themselves.

Outside the weather was kind to us. There were lots of stalls to visit, a hog roast and a guess the number of balloons in the tractor competition. Great fun was had by all.
