Last night our intrepid members ventured out on a treasure hunt around Slimbridge. We had rain showers, discovered new things about our area and had lots of laughter on our way around the route. Followed by refreshments at Tanglewood. (Many thanks to the lovely lady with the horse who turns out to be a plant expert).

In January the fabulous CarmenCo Trio performed their Pocket Opera at Slimbridge Village Hall. They have asked us to promote the tryout for their new show on 21st March 2026 at Resound, Blackhorse Road, Mangotsfield, Bristol, BS16 9BP.

This concert will be a first outing of their new repertoire for their long awaited second show "Delilah" which premieres in September 2026... which takes an irreverant and tongue-in-cheek slant on the story of Samson and Delilah, featuring engaging and beautiful music by the likes of Saint-Saens, Verdi, Rossini, Tarrega…
