Message of the Week from Berry Stone
“Karl Jenkins’ The Armed Man Concert March 22nd at 7.30pm St Michael and All Angels Church, Lyndhurst
I have pledged to raise at least £2000 profit from this concert to be divided 50% Help for Heroes, 25 % All Saints’ Minstead and 25% St Michael and All Angels. Thanks to generous local sponsorship from The Prince Foundation and Costa Coffee, Lyndhurst a good start has been made to the fund BUT I now have to sell at least 200 tickets to ensure that I reach my target and cover the concert’s costs.
Please support my hard work in organising this concert and buy a ticket to come and hear a stunning piece of choral music which was composed as a Mass for Peace. If you can’t make the evening performance make a donation and come and listen to the afternoon rehearsal.
Tickets (£10) are on sale at Minstead Village Shop or can be ordered from me – Berry Stone 023 8081 3719
See Armed Man Concert information flyer for more information about the concert.”
