2442 SQN (WESTBURY ON TRYM) ATC

A MUSICAL FEAST

Cadets from 2442 (Westbury on Trym) Squadron, had a musical feast last week with a concert at the Colston hall with the Band of the Royal Air Force. 8 Cadets were program sellers, Raising money for the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust.
Then 2 days later attended a concert as ushers at the Polish Church in Bristol to celebrate the 60 years of friendship and support shown to Polish people who have settled in the city since World War II.
Polish parish priest Zygmunt Fraczek and former Honorary Consul George Peszynski organised this concert on November 20 which featured a Polish mezzo-soprano, tenor soloist, bass baritone, a guest artist from Warsaw and a British concert pianist.
The Lord Lieutenant of Bristol Mary Prior, the High Sheriff of Bristol, Dr Timothy Chambers, and the Lord Mayor of Bristol, Councillor Chris Davies, were guests of honour at the concert in the Polish Church in Cheltenham Road which was followed by a reception in the church hall. Proceeds from tickets and donations were divided between the Lord Mayor's Christmas Appeal for Children and a children's home in Iwonicz-Zdroj, Poland, run by Felicjan nuns who worked in the Polish parish in Bristol in the early Eighties.
This was a fantastic evening and very meaningful as lots of our cadets come from Poland.
