Iain Ledingham and up and coming young singers from the Royal Academy of Music provided us with another operatic evening to remember. Over 120 members and guests were treated to a wide range of operatic and show music accompanied by Iain on piano as ever. After a rousing finale the Captain made a presentation to all members of the cast in appreciation. Iain and the singers donated 80% of their fees for the performance to help fund the Italian Summer School for Royal Academy of Music singers which Iain runs each summer in Liguria.

GXGC Wildlife Update
During the winter, the Buzzards have remained with us but we have not seen much of the Water Voles. It will soon be time to watch out and listen for the first summer visitors. The first to be heard (usually in mid-March) is the distinctive song of the Chiffchaff. A few of these might have stayed in Britain through the winter but most fly in from southern Europe.
Next to arrive usually in April, the Cuckoo and the Blackcap. The Cuckoo's call is easily recognised by all, but the song of the Blackcap can be confused with that of the Garden Warbler , they both tend to skulk in dense foliage and are not easily seen. The song is one of the most frequently heard sounds around the playing area from April to July . When I have actually made a positive visual identification they have been Blackcaps, The only Garden Warbler spotted was in the scrub area below the 17th tee, that was many years ago. In March/April we should also be looking out for the first members of the Swallow family to arrive
