Charity Race Night – 27th February 2016

Posted on by

The Capel Sports Pavilion Committee and Capel Youth Club are jointly undertaking a Race Night fundraising event in the Village Hall on Saturday the 27th February.  Funds will be divided between the two organisations going towards the new Sports Pavilion and to help relaunch Capel Youth Club.

Tickets for entry are priced at £I 0.00, which will include food. There will also be a licensed bar. If you cannot make the evening then you can still own one of the horses that are running. The cost of ownership is £5.00 per horse with the winning owner receiving a bottle of Fizz. Don’t  forget to give it a good name.

There will be 8 races in all and you can bet on each race. There will also be an auction race at the end. There will also be prizes from the bar for the man and lady most suitably dressed for a day at the races.

We are looking for sponsors for each race. Each race will cost £25.00 to sponsor and your name will go in the programme and repeatedly mentioned during the evening. If you are there you can also present the winning owner with their prize should you wish.

Tickets are now available form Anthony Birch on 07841 373198 so book early to avoid disappointment.

Doors open at 7:30 with the first race at 8:15. Hope to see you there!

Capel and Ockley Pantomime 2016

Posted on by

The Ockley Dramatic Society, which nowadays incorporates a contingent from Capel too, are proud to present this season’s Pantomime: Percy and the Holy Grail, by Sharon Holm. Loosely based around the characters of King Arthur and the Knights of the Roundtable, this jolly jape guarantees fun and laughter. Like the past couple of years we are performing the first week in CAPEL and the second week in OCKLEY. Additionally, we have been invited to perform in CRANLEIGH too and we are putting on one performance on the Sunday between the other performances.

Synopsis:

King Arthur lies close to death, poisoned by wicked Morgana.  Only the Holy Grail can save him now.  But where is it?  Sent on a quest to seek the Grail both far and wide and here and there by Guinevere, will the Knights of the Roundtable find the Grail or will pure of heart Percy, a simple boy from the forest, save the day?”

Capel Choral Society: Christmas at home!

Posted on by

‘Home’ for Capel Choral Society is the Memorial Hall in Capel village, and that is where the choir will be holding its Christmas Concert on Monday 7th December. The programme will include the ‘Christmas’ choruses from Handel’s messiah (including Hallelujah!) interspersed with some less familiar pieces by Rossini, Saint Saens and Mendelssohn. There will also be some favourite Christmas Carols for the audience to join in.

The concert will start at 7:30pm and ticket prices is £7.50 which includes seasonal refreshments.

In addition to the concert, the Choir will be hosting Cakes & Carols in Capel Parish church on Sunday 13th December, which will be an opportunity to joint he Choir in an informal afternoon of carol singing, including all the most popular Carols.

The Choir is now well into its 2015/16 season and is already looking forwards to the 2016 Leith Hill Music Festival and have started learning Haydn’s Harmoniemesse and some of the smaller pieces which it will be performing in the Competitions on the morning of its Festival day next April. The Choir will only start serious rehearsal of this music in the New Year however and has only scratched the surface of these pieces so far, so there is still plenty of time for new singers to join Capel Choral and be able to ‘cats up’ easily, sopranos, altos. tenors and basses will all be very welcome – but particularly Men!

See information and pictures of the choir on our website www.capelchoralsociety.com or contact our Secretary at ianmoir20@yahoo.com or phone 01306 889817
