⚓🎶 What a fantastic evening with Angler's Mates! 🎶⚓

Burton Belles were treated to a wonderfully lively evening of sea shanties when Angler’s Mates joined us for a special performance ahead of our own appearance at the Port Isaac Shanty Festival next month — home of the famous Fisherman’s Friends.

Brothers Alan and Roger Green, with the invaluable assistance of Sally, took us on a toe-tapping musical voyage through a selection of traditional sea shanties. Sally also demonstrated the all-important actions, encouraging everyone to join in and adding to the fun!

The performance was energetic, entertaining and just a little bit naughty, with plenty of laughter, singing and audience participation along the way. It certainly got the Burton Belles in the mood for our own shanty adventure in Port Isaac.

We are incredibly grateful to Alan, Roger and Sally for giving their time and talent so generously. Angler’s Mates very kindly waived their performance fee, choosing instead to donate it to breast cancer research. This was an exceptionally kind gesture and one that means a great deal to us.

A huge thank you to Angler’s Mates for an evening of music, laughter and good-hearted fun — and for helping them set sail towards Port Isaac in fine style! ⚓🎶💗

What a lovely day out for some of our Burton Belles! 😊

Today we visited Hope House Costume Museum, where we were treated to a wonderful tour by the amazing Notty Hornblower. Her incredible knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for the stunning collection of costumes was infectious. Every garment had a story to tell, and Notty brought them all to life with fascinating tales, humour and warmth.

Afterwards, we enjoyed a delicious lunch in the cosy tearoom, giving us the chance to relax, chat and round off a thoroughly enjoyable day together.

A huge thank you to Notty for being such a fantastic host. If you’re looking for somewhere a little different to visit, we can highly recommend Hope House Costume Museum – it’s a real hidden gem!

Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such an enjoyable outing. 💜

A huge thank you to Paula Senior for welcoming more Burton Belles WI members to the main YMCA Burton-on-Trent site recently.
We were given a fascinating tour of the facilities and gained a real insight into the incredible range of services the YMCA provides to support people across our community. Hearing the stories and seeing first-hand the positive impact they make every day was both inspiring and incredibly humbling.
Following our recent fundraising fashion show, we’re delighted that, together with the amazing support of our members, local businesses and everyone who bought tickets, we raised just over £1,000 for YMCA Burton-on-Trent.
Visiting the YMCA showed us exactly how important these funds are, and we’re proud to have been able to play a small part in supporting the fantastic work they do. Thank you to everyone who helped make it possible.

Our Fashion Show was a great success, raising much-needed funds for YMCA Burton. Thanks to the incredible support of everyone who attended, donated, modelled, volunteered and helped behind the scenes, we raised just over £1,000 for this worthy cause. Thank you to everyone who played a part in making the evening such a memorable and successful event.
