Sailing Day  at Royal Harwich Yacht Club, Woolverstone

Sailing Day  at Royal Harwich Yacht Club, Woolverstone

This year no arguments with my sat nav to miss out on what was a great day last year! With water divination wands I headed for the clubhouse. I found the water on a very beautiful day, everyone was buzzing with the same energy as a school trip. Everything moved smoothly; refreshments and delicious meals available at the clubhouse and we all got on and off whichever boat safely when it was our turn to go out onto the river. The Woolverstone Project volunteers that took us up and down the river Orwell were very knowledgeable and entertaining, giving us a great day out and it was lovely to feel like a tourist. A tremendous day out  and so glad I made it this year. I cannot thank all involved  enough, please take a well-earned bow – you are all marvellous.

BrushStroke Festival of Art

SAS Brushstrokes Exhibition is back!

Saturday 14th March – Saturday 21st March, Sudbury

In March a very special Brushstrokes 2026 was held at the Sudbury Arts Centre, featuring art by our own members together with a number of local artists which raised over a staggering £20k.

Andy Walsh, the Sudbury Mayor, was welcomed during our Member’s coffee morning. The following day we were fortunate to have Frances Christie of Sotheby’s to come and give a fascinating talk about the Value of Art at the well-attended lunch.

At the preview evening, our new Chairman, Edward Mason thanked Lizzie Alston and the Brushstrokes Committee for working so hard with collating and setting up the artist’s work and excelling with this year’s wonderful exhibition.

SAS Event 2025 – Operetta performed by Keith Lewis

14th September Priory Hall, Hadleigh

A Concert and picnic tea took place on 14th September at Priory Hall, Hadleigh. The marvellous tenor, Keith Lewis, sang magnificently with Andrew Leach on the piano. The narrator was Rebecca Goss . They told the story of the relationship between Clara Schumann, Robert Schuman and Johannes Brahams. Sadly Clara Schuman died of a stroke. The afternoon was a sell out and a huge success. £6,000 was raised for SAS.
