Dear all, I am sorry to have to tell you that the performance due on Saturday has had to be postponed. One of the Opera Dudes has suffered a torn retina and is having an operation today. Assuming all goes well, we are being offered an alternative date this year which will be Saturday June 3th.
We had sold out and it would obviously help me if you could let know when I have confirmed the date whether you wish to use your payment to reserve tickets for the new date.
Otherwise, I will arrange repayments in either cheques or cash depending upon your method of payment.
Alternatively if you wish to use your payment for the Fordante concert on March 25, please let me know.(We are over 30% sold already).
Kind regards
Cynthia is currently in Peterborough hospital. Her chest infection led to other complications that need hospital care to resolve. She will soon be home in better health and sorting us all out as usual ! It is easy to forget that she is 95!

entertain you, 6.30 start.
Ricochet TV, part of warner bros TV production UK www.ricochet.co.uk , are making a new television show for BBC2 called “The repair shop”; the show looks into repairing beloved and interesting possessions for people who would like to see them restored or repaired back to their original working order. The kind of items we have come across so far have ranged from inherited pocket watches to grandfather clocks, from rocking horses to drawn carriages, even from toy cars to VW campers. We have a team of experts who cover all trades such as blacksmithing, ceramics, clockmakers, upholsterers and carpenters
I am wondering if you might to be able to help spread the word amongst your parishes, networks and communities to see if anyone has an items that might be suitable they’d like to put forwards?
Additionally, as well as sentimental/interesting items belonging to individuals….we’d really love to feature and repair a few items in the show that have a community value, something treasured or something essential to communities that has fallen into disrepair, perhaps has an interesting story and purpose to the village/town that can be restored.
For example some towns, villages and communities have certain items that are important to them; they could be memorial plaques, eroded statues, snapped weather vanes, broken sun dials, cracked gargoyles, fading carvings, or maybe the paint is peeling on your local pub’s swing sign.
Please note that although a lot of things can be moved, items would need to not be permanently stuck in situ, for example some larger statues or water fountains are grand logistically feats to move. The item would be repaired at our repair shop (a barn outfitted for our experts) and given back to the community at no expense to the owner – additionally there would be broadcasted tv coverage from start to finish of the item, in the workshop and also when the item is revealed to the owner or community.
Please also note that we are receiving a lot of items and interest across the country, and sometimes they can be too big and take too long to fix, so please don’t be disheartened if we can’t repair it this time
If perhaps you might have something you’d love to be repaired, then please get back in touch with us at repair@ricochet.co.uk or call us on 01273 224800
