Silver Celebration – 16th June 2018
The Weald of Kent Branch was formed and incorporated as a branch of the Society of Recorder Players in 1993. To celebrate 25 years of the branch, we held a Silver Celebration playing afternoon on 16th June at our usual venue, St Andrews Church, Paddock Wood. Dr Peter Bowman, our Musical Director conducted us for a range of celebratory music. 
A special cake was made for the occasion by Susan Wilkinson and presented by Mike Wilkinson, former Branch and National Secretary.
We enjoyed playing a Suite of Dances from “Handel’s Water Music”, “Silver Suite” by John Hawkes, “Bolero” by Maurice Ravel, arranged for recorders and a new work “Hopping Down in Kent” by Marg Hall. We toasted the achievements of the previous 25 years while looking forward to the next quarter century!
