Sue Wetherall and Emily Estelle first started Picnic at the Petite Prom in 2017, after Isabel Hospice had cared for their husband/father John Wetherall, and they wanted to raise much needed funds for the Hospice as a way of saying thank you. Sue has been involved with the Hospice for many years and always supported the charity.

The event proved to be very successful and after the sad lose of John, Sue and Emily went on to organise another in concert 2021, which once again proved to be a huge success. To date they have raised over £34,000. So here they are, two years later and due to popular demand organising another event!

Set under the stars in a picturesque Hadham garden come and join them for a magical evening of live music and song of well-known Movie music – all in aid of Isabel Hospice. Bring a picnic and chair and sit back and enjoy performances from professional artists performing songs the likes of James Bond, Westside Story, Back to Africa, Grease and many more!

Madrigals at Amwell Pool: ‘a beautiful evening’

Posted on by Leave a comment

On Friday 23rd June, the annual Madrigals Concert at Amwell Pool took place.

Julia Davies, who attended the evening along with a large number of other locals, said it was ‘a beautiful evening in aid of Isabel Hospice’.

Local resident, Betty Sewell, organised the first concert over 40 years ago! It has become a much -anticipated annual event – the music and stunning setting makes the evening truly magical.

Thank you to the organisers and the choirs involved. We look forward to the next concert!

St John the Baptist Primary School Reunion

Posted on by Leave a comment

St John the Baptist Primary School pupils circa 1947–1955 in the past have been very loyal and made this happen at least several times since 1999. We now think this may be the last time that we’re able to meet due to moving and circumstances.

The date of our last meeting will be Thursday June 9th 2023 at The George IV Pub, from 11.30/12noon. A walk around the village followed by some lunch is the usual format!

Please contact Jennifer on 01438 358404 or 07960381339 if you are able to come.

Looking forward to meeting again and exchanging all our memories…

Summertime ‘Flash Fiction’ Writing Competition

Posted on by Leave a comment

We have teamed up with local author, Annette Hannah, to run a ‘flash fiction’ writing competition this summer. Annette’s latest book, Lottie’s Little School of Dance, is due to publish shortly. It follows Lottie as she starts a new life in Bramblewood (a setting inspired by our local area of the three villages). To mark Annette’s new book coming out, we thought we would invite our local writers to pick up a pen or boot-up their laptops and get writing! There are just a few rules…

Please send entries to threevillagesmagazine@gmail.com or post to 53 Lawrence Avenue, Stanstead Abbotts, Herts SG12 8TY.

**DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 11th JULY**
