Alfreton Male Voice Choir
 
Choir Remembers World War II with Song.
A medley of war songs was brought out of the repertoire during last nights practise ahead of a performance at Tupton in north east Derbyshire on Saturday 8th June.
The Choir ‘Packed Up Its Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag’ and went ‘Over There’ to see the ‘Roses of Pickardy’ then went the ‘Long Way to Tipperary’ ensuring they ‘Kept the Home Fires Burning.’
The Choir will travel the few miles north to Tupton to help their community celebrate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the start of Operation 'Overlord' when on 6 June 1944, Allied forces launched a combined naval, air and land assault on Nazi-occupied France.
And who knows what manoeuvres the  Sagalouts’ (the Choirs answer to the Home Guard) will get up but rest assured it wil be song and laughter.
Get up to but it’ll be more song and laughter.
So pop along in the afternoon to Tuptons’ Community Garden and join in the fun.

Hope to be there..

  Make sure you say hello

Many congratulations to chesterfield fc. Great day yesterday also. Can't wait until they win the next league. Keep it up lad's.

Been looking on line to maybe getting a new cooker, when we had this one installed we paid about £70 for installation, that's now risen to £115. Looking round for repairers it would cost at least that much, maybe more, to have it repaired they've got you either way.
£115 just to have someone stick a gas pipe onto a bayonet fitting and plugging in the electric socket for the ignition, daylight robbery. Of course I could set it up myself but I'd run the risk of the cooker turning out to be faulty, apart from it possibly being dangerous, it could null the warranty.

Adding insult to injury the washing machine threw a seven yesterday, more expense!
Looking in on Currys the charge for installation is far less than for the cooker {about £30}
They say things happen in three's, wonder what's next?
