A Right Royal Bash
Yesterday, Sunday 7th May 2023, we held a sumptuous 3 course banquet luncheon to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles 111 and invited all the people whose invitations had been lost in the post :-(
Michael Frankel and his ukelele (eat your heart out George Formby) raised the roof with an old time music hall singalong, and then called on a surprised Spencer Berd to sing a couple of golden oldies.
The whole event was rounded off with another of our magnificent raffles, with prizes to die for.

It’s Showtime ! Purim 23 Raised the Bar … again
Ladies and Gentleman - I give you ... St. Anne's answer to Simon & Garfunkel
Showtime during our Purim 2023 Party by the Sea featured this dynamic duo blasting out Adon Olom to some of the best known melodies of the musicals.
The patient audience were rewarded with a hot street food buffet supper by the Ladies Circle when the singing was done.
With many partygoers in fancy dress and a magnificent raffle with some amazing prizes, it was another huge success !
NB. No, no fancy dress here, they were the real thing, but no arrests were made.

Tea M’Lady ?
The local branch of the League of Jewish Women (Fylde Group) held their Annual Summer Afternoon Tea on Wednesday 17th August.
The event was hosted in the Daniel Rose Hall of the St. Anne's Synagogue and catered by the Ladies Circle
The Summer Afternoon Teas are very popular with visitors from out of town using the opportunity to take in the sights, our sea air and a bit of shopping.
This year (the first event post Covid) was no exception and upwards of 70 people attended for sandwiches, scones jam and cream, mini trifles, and an assortment of cakes - all handmade by the Ladies Circle.
Along with the Chairman's speech, the entertainment, a table fun quiz and a raffle - it seemed everyone had a jolly good time !

King of the Grill – BBQ Pics
Report 19th June 2022
For weeks the weather forecasts for Sunday promised cloud, showers, windy and cold.
Sure enough, the big day arrived and by 10am it was cold. It was cloudy. The wind was blowing a gale (artistic licence there), and the promised shower kept its promise. No surprise there, we're in the middle of British summer and we're a coastal town.
Now I don't know whether the Rabbi had a word with his boss, I couldn't possibly comment, but at 2pm, the sun broke through, the clouds scuttled away, the sky turned a glorious shade of blue, and the temperature climbed to the heady heights of 17c.
We didn't mind even though we'd all dressed by the morning weather, but the cardies soon came off.
I should mention the food .... Steven Gordon and the Rabbi did us proud with a virtuoso performance of grilling - and Rebbetzen Anna and the Ladies Circle added the healthy salads !
So ... take a look at...
