OPEN GARDEN VOCALITY EXTRAVAGANZA! 

Sunday June 15 2008 2pm-6pm.

 

For each of the last 6 years Steve and Linda Wells have opened their garden as part of the Claygate Open Gardens Trail and have raised funds for RUGO

 

This year, the organizers of the Claygate Garden Trail decided to ‘give it a rest’; which gave them the opportunity to do something special, which will not undermine the fundraising efforts of others.

 

 

 And it was special, this year they had the pleasure of hosting ‘Vocality’ a community based choir from Esher, Surrey. This 50 strong local choir, who have thrilled audiences with their eclectic repertoire, including African music, generously agreed to perform at Steve and Linda’s open garden on Sunday 15th June. The garden was open from 2.00-6.00pm and Vocality performed twice, at 3.00 and 4.30pm.

 

The ‘field’ at the bottom of the garden will accommodated a seated audience of around 200. Which was fully occupied for both performances.

 

As usual, teas were available and a wide selection of plants available for sale. In addition, members of RUGO, and of the Rwandan diaspora living in UK, were present at an information stand and happy, as always, to talk to people about RUGO activities or Rwanda in general. The magnificent global award winning Rwanda Sovu Golden Cup Coffee from Union Roasters was also on sale.

 

Linda and Steve Wells and RUGO gratefully thanks everyone who attended this event which raised over £4775 towards RUGO funds.

We were also pleased to launch the new RUGO website which also went live on 15th June.
