We had the morning and some of the afternoon free, so the team split up to explore the countryside surrounding Newton Stewart. Laura, Annie and Alyson's host went to the gem museum together, Roger and Devon stayed in Newton Stewart while the rest of the team travelled up to Glen Trool in the Galloway Forest. It was a lovely morning, and great to get some fresh air. We received a message from Roger at lunch time - Devon had suggested they have the senior citizen's special for lunch, with Devon pretending to be Roger's carer!
In the afternoon we had a team meeting - almost the complete team together as Laura R, Marilyn and Amy had arrived from Nottingham. Unfortunately Laura was unwell and not able to dance.
Jane, one of the Newton Stewart group, provided a fantastic tea of soup and sandwiches - all the more impressive as she arranged for Laura to go to her house and sleep during the performance and managed to organise food for the after-show party!
The performance went really well, despite Laura's illness and one of the microphones giving out. There was a really fantastic audience who were really receptive, and lots of great conversation afterwards.Then all of the choir, team and some of the audience travelled back to Newton Stewart to Jane's house for the traditional after-show party. It was great to socialise and share with so many people. Thanks to all who were involved in organising this trip to Newton Stewart and Wigtown.
