Waggum Ladies` Choir, seen here singing in Waggum Church with the Gentlemens` Choir.
When I stay in Braunschweig in the summer months, I sing with this wonderful choir of 55 lady singers. They are a friendly group of singers, many of whom form the church choir, and also sing at events in Waggum, a small village just outside the city of Braunschweig.
This Thursday 18th May, they are travelling by coach to Bath, Braunschweig´s partner city, to sing in St Michael´s Without Church on Sunday morning, 21st May. I will travel with them, and although our programme will be hectic, it will be a most wonderful six days in England.
Our schedule is as follows:
Thursday 18th May: We leave Waggum at 6:30am, and travel to Calais for the crossing to Dover, where we will spend Thursday night.
Friday 19th: We travel from Dover to Windsor Castle for sightseeing and lunch, after which we travel to Swindon, where we will spend three nights in an hotel.
Saturday 20th: We leave the hotel for Bath, where we will meet our German guide, who will show us around the city by coach and on foot. At 3pm, we leave Bath and travel to Devizes, where we will sing at the Wharf at around 4pm, visit the gift shops, and then have dinner in the "Bear Hotel," after which we travel back to Swindon.
Sunday 21st: We travel back to Bath to sing at the morning service in St Michael´s Without, where we will be welcomed by the Mayor of Bath and his wife, who will also attend the service. In the afternoon we will make a visit to the Roman Baths. We leave Bath at 4pm, to travel back to Chippenham for our evening meal in "The Angel Hotel."
Monday 22nd: We leave the Swindon Hotel, and make a visit to Avebury Stonecircle for sightseeing and lunch. That afternoon, we´ll visit Sissinghurst Gardens, and then travel to Dover for an overnight stop.
Tuesday 23rd: We catch the morning ferry back to Calais, and drive to Braunschweig.
