The basic elements of a proper Gothic romance require a heroine of pure heart that must travel, often across the world, guided by her love for a dark, brooding gentleman of aristocratic origins. They will often take residence in a haunted building in which a deep secret is stored (often involving wealth, treasure, or ancestral secrets) only to be revealed by our heroine's journey. Often the characters represent sides of a single self. Almost as if the edifice was the mind, the self and its deepest catacombs, the id — with the festering horrors of the past. Historically, the Romantic movement was a rebellious tide crashing against the dry, uncaring shores of reason. A movement that was sparked by the poetry of ruins and decay and the inexorable attraction of human emotion at its basest. Thus, a Gothic romance lives and dies on two things: the fortitude of its heroine and the power of its villain. And so, casting our film became quite a complex process. The list of actors that I really wanted was quite short — I hoped for a heroine that was sophisticated intellectually but emotionally vulnerable to the myth of perfect love (even if she denied it publicly). I needed a character with a very strong backbone but a certain innocence to the ways of the world. She had a fierce mind, but her knowledge of the world all came from books and imaginary characters. When Mia Wasikowska became a candidate I was elated: In her past work, she always struck me as someone that seemed to be very assured of herself but timid and private. And then, Jessica Chastain and Tom Hiddleston emerged as the perfect Gothic villains — able to deliver the tough moments but capable of illuminating their actions to reveal the vulnerability, the humanity, beneath. There needed to be a reason and a true humanity behind their actions, no matter how grotesque.

Annual General Meeting

Chairman’s Report 2021-22

Annual General Meeting

                 5th September 2022

www.addlestonesingers.tumblr.com

We have come back after Covid to celebrate our 50th anniversary year in 2022.

On 7th May we were proud to be presented with a certificate in recognition of raising over £10,585.56

for Woking and Sam Beare Hospice. 

Our May concert added an extra £540.95 to this total.

Rehearsals

It was wonderful to be back rehearsing together as Covid restrictions eased.  In September we continued to rehearse in the main hall at Addlestone Community Centre.  The Methodist Church was not open for the early part of our year.

Rehearsals ran

Monday 6th September to concert on 6th December

Monday 10th January to concert on 14th May

There were not sufficient members available to make a Summer singing session viable.  Our Musical Director ran 2 of her singers workshops locally for those who wanted to take part.

Our Monday rehearsals are from 8pm to 9.45pm with a break for refreshments.  From time to time we will have a ‘Bring and buy’ or sales of books, hats and other knitted items

Concerts

Our Christmas concert was held on Monday 6th December in Addlestone Community Centre with guest artists Chertsey Orchestra,  on behalf of Woking and Sam Beare Hospice.  It was lovely to see about 70 people in the audience,  so pleased to be back to live music after so long of being unable to do so.  We still observed social distancing guidance.

Thanks to Tesco for their donation of some mulled wine and mince pies.

Our 50th anniversary Spring concert was held on Saturday 14th May, again in the Community Centre with guest artists Chertsey Orchestra, where we sang songs chosen by the ladies.  Each member was wearing a golden brooch in the shape of a treble clef which had been presented to them the previous week to mark our 50th year.  We started the concert with the National Anthem in recognition of the forthcoming Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Singing at Other events

On 9th December some of us gathered round the piano at the Community Centre to lead audience singing of well known carols at an afternoon Tea party.

We also gathered round the piano at the Community Centre for the Jubilee Indoor street party on 4th June.

On both occasions there was enthusiastic singing from the audience.

We were unable to sing in Care Homes while Covid restrictions continued.

Social Events

As the year progressed and we were able to mix more socially, we held the following events

Cake and Quiz afternoon Tuesday 5th April

Picnic at Cowey Sale Monday 16th May

Sunday 24th July Cream tea at Sarah’s provided by herself and her husband.  Lovely afternoon!

See over for page 2

Musical Director and Pianist 

Our Musical Director, Susan Higgins is in her 21st year with us.  We thank her for guiding and leading us through our musical journey.

We are lucky to have 2 Accompanists who were able to provide cover throughout the year, Janet Mannan in her 18th year with us and Tom Higgins who had supported us so well while we were singing on Zoom the previous year.

Membership

We continue to have a solid core of members.  Unfortunately not everyone was able to return having been unable to meet in person for well over a year.  Our membership for the Christmas session was  18 members, with 22 in the Spring term.

Unfortunately the lower membership has had an impact on our financial position, which will be reported by our Treasurer.

Committee

Our wonderful committee has continued to work tirelessly to meet all the challenges that have arisen and kept the choir together during what has been a very difficult 2 years for everyone.

Our helpers

If I mention anyone in particular I am bound to leave someone out.  Enough to say that we are so grateful to our friends and family members who support us in everything we do.

Membership of other groups

We continue to be affiliated to the Addlestone Community Association.  We will continue to attend meetings as they resume.  We continue to organise our Public Liability Insurance through a group of those who were previous members of the Runnymede Arts Association.

Addlestone Community Centre

Our thanks go to the team at the Centre for making us welcome and supporting our events throughout the year.

Music Library

Our music continues to be  located in the Methodist Church. 

Repertoire

We have been fortunate to get together a good collection of music which has meant that it has not been necessary to buy new music.  This has been particularly valuable while we have all been getting used to singing back together again

Christmas 2021

50th anniversary    Spring 2021

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

A whole new world

Because of Him

Beauty and the Beast

Ding dong merrily on high

Bring me sunshine

Go tell it on the mountain

I could have danced all night

Joy to the world

I got rhythm

Santa Lucia

I know him so well

Shepherd’s pipe carol

I say a little prayer

Silent night

It’s a grand night for singing

Star Carol

Medley from Les Miserables

The Colours of Christmas

Thank you for the music

The Future 

We have plenty to look forward to as we welcome new members.  We will continue celebrating our 50th anniversary year and look forward to  2023. More concerts, more raising money for charities, more social events.

crown shyness

Have you ever looked up and observed the trees and wondered why they grow the way they do? In some parts of the world, there are some trees that grow to make what looks like a jigsaw puzzle. 

This natural phenomenon is called crown shyness, in which the trees grow in a manner that keeps their branches from touching one another. 

photo credit: Tom Cowey

According to JSTOR, scientists, aren’t completely sure as to why the phenomenon happens at all. However, there are some theories that explain why trees form the way they do. 

One theory that was developed was that each tree forces its neighbors into a pattern that maximizes resource collection and minimizes harmful competition.

For example, this theory explains that these gaps are caused by abrasion from when strong wind occurs, making each branch hit neighboring branches. 

Because wind is inevitable in parts of the world, this helps to reinforce each branch to maintain the gap that is seen in these canopies. 

However, in another theory by biologist, Miguel Franco, suggests that these gaps are a result of influences from other trees. 

Since trees cannot move, they must compete with their neighbors for resources such as light. Similar to the first theory, these trees will force their neighbors into a pattern that will maintain the shyness gap.

Crown shyness is a relatively interesting and informative phenomenon to study. It is important that we understand these types of phenomenons as trees are habitats for species and provides us with oxygen. 

Ecological interactions are extremely complex so the study of crown shyness is not only fascinating but educational as well.
