Monday, 1st September: Choral Society’s 1st rehearsal
COME AND SING WITH US!
Steeple Aston Choral Society’s next concert is on Sunday 23rd November. We will sing Rossini’s ‘Petite Messe Solennelle’. Margaret B says: ‘The Rossini is not petite – it’s a full-length work – and not solemn. It is a gloriously melodic work.’
It is written for choir with four soloists plus piano and harmonium.
There are various versions online, one is here:

This is especially relevant and poignant at this time. James has worked in this field for many years and lives in Steeple Aston We are privileged that he can tell us from experience about these crises and what the relief agencies are doing against the odds to help those suffering so much.
Please come and support James in this and find out more, especially what we might do as a village.
Wednesday, 24th September: Horticultural Society AGM
Steeple Aston and Middle Aston Horticultural Society’s AGM will be on Wednesday, 24th September at 7.45pm in the Village Hall committee room. All are welcome. Please note in your diary, we want your feedback but we’d love your support.
We always need people with ideas for classes, offers to write a quiz in the spring, propagate some bits for a plant stall, or help with the washing up. Your involvement can be as a committee member throughout the year or just on show days. We will be discussing, among other things, a draft constitution. If you would like to look at this before the meeting, you can do so here. If you have any queries or comments, the Society’s contact details are below.
Spring Show 2026 – Plant stall
At this year’s Spring Show we had a plant stall that was extremely successful and most people left with a bargain or three. We want to host the stall again next year, but are asking for your help now please. If you are taking cuttings over the next few months, please consider doing a couple extra for us, or if you have more seedlings than you need, please pot them on, someone will love them.
