New Forest Rotarians assisted at the New Milton Festival once again. This annual event with many classes is a wonderful event for local musicians with a Gala Concert on the Sunday. John Bloomfield, on the Festival Committee, organised our Club's efforts.

New Forest Rotary supported the annual two day New Milton Music Festival with about 20 members and partners assisting, together with members of New Milton and Highcliffe Rotary and New Milton Lions Club. The event was again a great success and wonderful local talent was on display.

As usual there was a wide mix of musical skills to enjoy, with classes for vocal and instrumental entries, including choirs, solo vocal, piano, orchestral instruments, and accordions. Classes were adjudicated offering entrants guidance and encouragement from experts in their field. Graded certificates were awarded and in many class winners receiving a trophy.

The climax was a gala concert on the Sunday, showcasing the best performers.
