‘Carols on the Green’ December 7th 2022

The ‘Carols on the Green’ on December 7th was a great success. The weather was perfect for the event with a clear sky and an almost full moon giving a wonderful frosty and crisp seasonal atmosphere.

Over 80 people attended, and the CitySound Voices Bath Choir gave a rousing rendition of favourite carols.

Sales of mulled wine, mince pies, cake, biscuits and seasonal produced went very well. The frosty evening certainly encouraged the sales of mulled wine. Overall the evening made a profit which will go towards the upkeep of the Millennium Green.

Many thanks to the CitySound Voices Bath choir for their excellent singing. Many thanks to Trustees Chris Melbourne, Peter Akbar and Anne Love for organising the event and thanks to all the other helpers. It is our intention to make this an annual Christmas event.

The ‘Talk with Wine’ on October 6th was very successful. There were over 70 attendees to hear Sally Helvey give a fascinating talk on the history of the Cleveland Pools and the story of the 18-year long project to restore the Pools back to becoming a wonderful asset to the community.

The talk was very timely as the Pools have just reopened together with an excellent piece on the BBC One Show featuring the Pools.
