Gilbert & Sullivan Concert

The concert given by The Edinburgh Gilbert & Sullivan Singers on Friday 9th September was voted an outstanding success by an appreciative audience of approximately two hundred and seventy who by their response to the professionalism of the group indicated their enjoyment.

There was a very happy atmosphere engendered by the performers which made the evening a social event as much as a fundraiser for the church.  A net total of £1822 was raised.

After the concert most of the audience gathered in the church hall to enjoy a wonderful supper with a glass of wine or soft drinks.

Behind the scenes, of course, the concert didn't happen without organisation, and thanks are due to all involved in setting up the church, halls and the many other tasks which were necessary.  Also, thanks must be given to the ladies who, through their skills and hard work, provided such a wonderful and attractive supper and to all who contributed in any way towards the success fo theevening.

The group of singers always enjoy coming to perform in Scone New because of the excellent reception and response they receive, and the wonderful acoustics in the church.

Scone Scripture Union Holiday Club 4th – 8th July, 2011  

Lilian Murchison

Although we had at one time feared that the holiday club might not take place this year, it was made possible by the fact that Anne Gunn, a Youth Pastor from Inverness, was prepared to come down to lead the project. The team consisted of both teenage and adult leaders – of the latter, two were from Inverness, two from Scone Old and two from Scone New, and the remainder, as well as the invaluable group of teenage leaders, came from a number of Perth churches.

Forty-two primary school children attended the club and this year’s theme was “Showstoppers”, affording plenty of scope for children to display their dramatic, musical and artistic talents. The first session each day was spent planning and producing a stage set design. This was followed by an aerobics session, singing, and games and crafts, the very popular racing car quiz, and fan mail. This year an Oscar was awarded daily to the team which managed to win a variety of Oscar challenges.

The Bible focus this year was on themes which had been selected in a national poll as the ones it was most important to pass on to the next generation – the account of Creation, David and Goliath, Daniel and the lion’s den, the birth of Jesus, and his life, death and resurrection.

The Thursday evening session for families and friends was well-attended. New this year for teenage helpers and their friends were afternoon programmes which included ice-breaker games, talks/discussions and messy games.

Thanks are due to the team who provided midmorning refreshments and to the door security team. We would also like to acknowledge our enormous debt  to Andy Tomison who has led the Holiday Club team for the past seventeen years, but was unable to do so this year.
