HPCF Concert Bury

Hello Wembley...well almost. Saturday night was music night for HCPF. The Hurstingstone Singers delivered a rousing performance at in Bury Church on Saturday (24th October).

The miscellany of music covered over half a millennia with choral ditties from Agincourt right up to sing-a-longs from the Beatles. The wine in the interval certainly helped my vocal chords!!!

Off course the monies from ticket sales will go toward the many activities planned for the next year, and to produce more up to date leaflet. Thanks to everyone for turning out on a dark Autumnal ( which added to the atmosphere actually).

iPod special

Our son Dan, who has Angelman Syndrome, can't talk but communicates with signs, sounds and gestures, and with £6,000 of heavy tablet computer produced by PRC, called a Vantage. We think this is a scandal as it's not exactly state of the art.
The newest model looks like this (left). Dan's is older.
The good news is that there is now an application for the iPod touch that enables it to be used as a similar device. The cost, including software, iPod and case with speaker, is not much over £300. Guess what Dan is getting for Christmas!
