Terrington Choir is marking three decades of singing and community spirit in the village and surrounding area with an event as part of the villages’s flower festival and scarecrow weekend.
Formed in 1996 by the late John Goodwill, the choir has grown into a much-loved local group, performing regularly at concerts and community events.
Over the past 30 years, the choir has raised nearly £30,000 for local charities and good causes, supporting organisations close to the hearts of its members and audiences.

John’s widow, Janet Goodwill said: “John would have been so happy to see the Terrington choir still going strong after all these years. Although not a choir member myself, I am a keen follower and try to get along to as many concerts as I can.”
The choir’s Musical Director, Kerr Wilson, said: “Reaching our 30th year is a wonderful milestone. We are proud not only of the music we have shared, but also of the support we have been able to give to local charities and the friendships formed along the way.”
The anniversary will be celebrated at 7pm on Saturday, June 20, at All Saints Church, Terrington, as part of a Flower Festival ‘Magic of Musicals’ weekend, bringing together music and floral displays for a special evening of celebration.
The concert will focus on songs from the musicals, showcasing the choir’s repertoire and reflecting on its history of supporting good causes in the local area.

The concert promises to be a highlight of the village calendar and a fitting way to celebrate 30 years of Terrington Choir.

Data from flight tracking app FlightRadar24 shows the plane traveling east over Atlantic Ocean several hundred miles off the coast of the Western Isles at the time. It is currently flying back over the Hebrides towards the Central Belt.

Sprawled over 80,000 square metres, the colossal structure will be the biggest hotel in the country (Picture: Gołębiewski Pobierowo)
Thirteen floors, 1,240 rooms, 80,000 square metres: a colossal mega-hotel on the Baltic Sea is about to open.
On Wednesday, June 17, the five-star Gołębiewski Pobierowo will open its doors to guests.
While it won’t be the largest in Europe – narrowly beaten by the Royal National Hotel in London (1,630 rooms) and the Rin Grand Hotel in Bucharest (1,459 rooms) – it comes a respectable third place.
Rooms at the hotel, in the Polish resort of Pobierowo, can already be booked, starting at £300 (€350) per night. Suites go up to £775 (€900).

Marketing chief Marta Maslowska says more than 2,000 bookings were made in the first 24 hours alone.
There is, however, a catch. Of the 1,240 rooms, only 500 have been completed, according to German outlet BILD.
But for guests who do stay, there’s a lot to look forward to.

As well as a vast outdoor pool, 104 metres long and 60 metres wide (more than double the size of the Olympic standard), there is a water park with whirlpools, water slides, a sauna, and a salt grotto.

There will also be a pianist serenading guests in the lobby, and a disco and entertainment area for children.
On the hotel’s website is the promise of four-themed restaurants, though it’s not clear what the themes will be.
It’s all set on the banks of Plaża w Pobierowie, a two-and-a-half mile long beach with soft white sand and the dazzling waters of the Baltic Sea.

A short drive down the pretty coastal roads there are charming seaside villages such as Trzęsacz, famous for its 15th-century church and an interactive museum, which brings visitors on a journey to the past.
A half-hour walk is the town of Pobierowo. In the summer, it has an outdoor inflatable park and treetop climbing experience, and it’s a popular destination for active breaks.

The hotel, which will be the largest in Poland, is the brainchild of the late entrepreneur Tadeusz Golebiewski.
He started out as a waffle baker, then in 1972 founded the biscuit manufacturer Tago and later built up a hotel empire.
An Instagram account for the hotel, curated in Polish, already has more than 9,000 followers.
Pobierowo is about an hour from Solidarity Szczecin-Goleniów Airport, which is served by Ryanair from Liverpool and London Stansted.

With flight times of under two hours from London, this Polish seaside gem could become popular with Brits looking for a short seaside break.
In recent years, Poland’s Baltic region has seen an uptick in visitors, as tourists increasingly shun the sweltering heat of southern Europe in favour of milder climates.
For the past two summers, visitors have packed Gdańsk’s historic old town, lounged on Sopot’s long beaches, and wandered the cliffs near Gdynia.
‘Poland’s coast increasingly attracts tourists from further abroad,’ said Katarzyna Smierzchalska, marketing manager at Hotel Nadmorski in Gdynia.

She noted that international guests are looking for relief from intense heat elsewhere.
Further east along the Baltic Coast, resorts in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuaniaare also seeing a rise in visitors.

Lithuania’s tourism board reported that the capital Vilnius clocked a record 10 million international arrivals in 2025.
Coastal regions such as Palanga are also increasingly popular with holidaymakers who want a beach break without the Mediterranean heat, and crowds.
Our writer Lucy Daltroff recently travelled there and said she has never been rewarded with ‘such inviting beaches, beautiful nature and consistently good food’.
Rickie Rowell, 24, of Hilton Road, Bishop Auckland, admitted driving while disqualified and without insurance on June 28, 2025, on Jubilee Road and Laurel Court in Shildon, County Durham.
Newton Aycliffe Magistrates’ Court heard Rowell drove a Honda Civic although he was already banned from driving.
On June 10 magistrates sentenced him to 12 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months, due to what the court described as his “flagrant disregard for people and their property”.

Rowell must also complete 100 hours of unpaid work, attend up to 10 days of rehabilitation activity as directed, and follow instructions from a responsible officer for 12 months.
He was disqualified from driving for an additional 12 months.
Rowell must also pay £200 in costs to the Crown Prosecution Service.
His guilty pleas were taken into account when sentencing.

Graham Coggins, 47, of North Marine Road in Scarborough, pleaded guilty to causing public nuisance at Scarborough Magistrates’ Court after climbing to the rooftop of a property in Alma Square, Scarborough on Monday (June 8).
It comes after North Yorkshire Police were called to the area shortly after 6.15pm after reports of a man “shimmying” across rooftops in the street, climbing onto a property’s chimney and shouting.

The court heard how Coggins was allegedly on the roof following a dispute over the ownership of a dog.
A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police said: “As a negotiator was prepared to attend Scarborough, officers from Scarborough’s Retail Crime Unit engaged with the man from a platform provided by North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue, who also attended to help to get the man to safety.”
The incident caused Westborough, between York Place and Northway, along with Alma Parade, to close as a police cordon was place along the area.
Coggins eventually climbed down from the rooftop of his own accord and was arrested by officers at the scene.

He was handed a Community Order, which comes with a six-month alcohol treatment order and rehabilitation activity requirement of up to 20 days.
Coggins was also fined £80 and ordered to pay court costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £114.
