A room with a view - bugging the Green Club

Deep in St John's Memorial Garden lies the Bug Hotel, very reasonable rates, especially after the renovation last Sunday. The Club is looking out for God's creation, small as well as large.

We are a new, local group for all ages, for walking & making friends, based in & around Caterham.

Walks will be various levels of difficulty & on different days and times to make it more accessible.

Although this is organised by the church, it is open to everyone and will not be a specifically "religious" event.

Walking is good for wellbeing; for mental and physical health, and socialising and spending time in nature are good for the spirit. We are coming together for all these reasons.

This particular walk is largely flat, with a small incline. It's around 2 miles in a loop from Woldingham Knight's, and ending up back there. Knight's has some parking available. On a scale of croydon road (1) to Waller Lane (10), it is probably a 4.

Dogs are welcome so long as they are not aggressive.

Please bring adequate water for you and your dogs and adequate clothing/suncream etc & any medication you need to stay safe and well.

Andrew Garrido on piano - Munch with Music - 2 April 2025

 
A triumphal return for Andrew, who gave a performance filled with intricacy, accuracy and passion. Before each section, the programme music and composers were put into context in a short introduction.
 
Programme
 
Johannes Brahms
Two intermezzi from Six Klavierstücke, Op 118
I - Intermezzo in A minor
II - Intermezzo in A major
 
Edvard Grieg
Piano Sonata in E minor, Op 7
I - Allegro moderato
II - Andante molto
III - Alla Menuetto, ma poco più lento
IV - Finale: Allegro molto
 
Gabriel Fauré
Nocturne No 6 in D-flat major, Op 63
Barcarolle No 5 in F-Sharp minor, Op 66
 
The level of applause during and after the performance suggests that, if willing, Andrew will be returning and will be very welcome at St John's in Caterham.
