Posted on behalf of John Vandenberghe - thank you John

The Eye Bach Choir was founded in 1974 by Dr Merlin Channon and his wife, Anne. Its first performance was given in February of that year in Eye Church – Bach’s Motet, Jesu. Priceless Treasure - a piece  which the original members had worked on at their first gathering in Merlin Channon’s house.

In the early years the Choir’s repertoire tended to be centred on baroque and classical music though, with the passage of time, works by Brahms, Verdi , Britten and Vaughan Williams began to feature.

The police have notified George Keeley, our Neighourhood Watch officer, that Thornham Magna and Thornham Parva each suffered two break-ins in the past fortnight. A third attempt in Thornham Magna in that period has since been reported. The thieves seem to have been looking for garden / agricultural equipment.

Would anyone who has not reported attacks on their property please contact the police (see contact details on Local Directory page of Thornhams website) and also record it in the Village Forum.

THE FULL YOGA BREATH

It is suggested that we on average only breathe using 35% of our lung capacity, our breathing tending to be shallow and concentrated around the upper chest. The quality of our breathing is affected by issues such as stress, posture, weight and other lifestyle factors. The full yoga breath can help us to breathe more effectively promoting positive health, calm and relaxation. Give it a try and see what you think!
