Follow The Stars - A Celebration of Christmas Fundraising for MacMillan Cancer Support


It's only a few days now until the Premiere of Follow the Stars in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support and the committee is so looking forward to it.   We very much hope you will tune in and enjoy it too; the link will be on the JustGiving page, there will be a countdown and the programme will start at 8pm.  


The concert is available to view until 31st December so please feel free to enjoy with friends and family over the festive period.  If you signed up you will also get a reminder on Friday, but thought I would email you the list too just incase.


Let’s hope next year we will all be looking forward to meeting for A Celebration of Christmas in Christ Church Cathedral.

How Magnetic's Can Destroy Your Family VHS Tape Memories

MAGNETIC DAMAGE TO FAMILY VIDEO TAPES Magnetic tape damage is pretty common. Family tapes store video and audio information in the form of a magnetic strip. The VCR has special heads that can pick up on these magnetic signals and translate them into images and sound that plays on your TV. While magnets are used to write information to the tape, they are also used to erase footage from your tape.

After 1874, when the new game of lawn tennis swept the country, royal tennis became more fashionable again among the English aristocracy.  By the year 1900 the popularity of lawn tennis was so great that it was universally called "tennis" and the old game ha...
