Proms In The Park

Posted on by

Saturday 18th August 7.30pm – but picnic from 6pm – on Capel Memorial Field

which follows on very nicely from the Horticulture and Car & Bike Shows

The First Half

The first half includes works from Haydn / Parry / Handel – good rousing stuff!

The Second Half

The second half has all the old favourites for “audience participation” of Jubilee and Olympics and flag waving and Union Jacks etc – a real celebration and not to be missed.

The concert will be held in the marquee (so under cover – no excuses there!) and on seats.

Tickets

Tickets cost only £15 – available from boxoffice@capelchoralsociety.com or 01403 269884

So hurry and book – you’ll need something to fill the void after the Olympics! – and this is it!

The Olympic Torch

Posted on by

The London 2012 Olympic Flame will be coming to Mole Valley on the afternoon of Friday 20th July 2012 on its way to the Olympic Stadium in London on day 63 of its 70 day Relay around the UK. It will be travelling westwards from Reigate. For final details of the route see the LOCOG website or go the the Mole Valley District Council Website.

Dorking and Westcott are two of more than 1000 villages, towns and cities that will welcome the Olympic Flame as it makes its 8,000 mile journey around the UK. The flame will be carried by Torchbearers through both Dorking and Westcott before making its way to Stoke Park, Guildford for a ticketed evening celebration, which sold out in four hours, and overnight stop. The last time this happened in Dorking was in 1948.

Please check the road closures associated with all the events of the Olympic Games as these are likely to be extensive and prolonged. It will be especially important to know alternate routes in case of emergencies, such as having to go to Accident & Emergency departments at hospitals (for example). The Cycle Race takes place on Saturday 28th and Sunday 19th July.

A list of Road closures over the w/e 28th and 29th July will be placed in Carters Shop and Capel Newsagents. It would be wise to check before you travel to see if the route you plan to take will be affected by road closures. Be warned – for safety reasons roads are not re opening immediatley after the race has passed through.
