Milton Concert Eight in a Bar and Surrey Fringe
Thank you to everyone who supported the choir concert in Milton church. It was
fabulous to see the church full with such a friendly and supportive audience to
support these two very different choirs. We raised over £1100, which has been
divided between the John Radcliffe Neurosciences Ward and the Benefice.
