Probus Club and Churches Together present carol festival in Filey

Filey Probus Club welcomed family, friends and members of the community to a carol festival with Churches Together. The event took place at the Methodist Chapel, Filey, and was hosted by the Rev Graham Morgan. A pre-festival music and slideshow was presented by Robert Child and the organ was played by Bryce Chatto, music curriculum leader at Filey Ebor Academy. A welcome was given by Probus president Brian Appleton and the Master of Ceremonies was Mr Gra- ham. Carols included Once in Royal David’s City, Cradled in a Manger and Hark the Herald Angels. Choral pieces were presented by Filey Ebor Academy Choir and there was a reading by Sandra Barker.

This was followed by an a cappella solo by David Burnet titled “Wild Mountain Thyme”, a performance by John Sellers and a dismissal and blessing by The Four Clerics. Refreshments and mince pies were served after the service. Filey Probus Club wishes to thank all who contributed to the retiring collection for Churches Together in Filey, Rev Morgan and Filey Methodist Chapel and all those who supported the event. Next year’s date has been pencilled in for December 13. Picture by Richard Ponter 165117
