Albany Singers
When: Mondays 7.30 – 9pm
Do you love to sing?
Albany Singers is a friendly community choir in the Welland Valley, drawing members from the villages of Wilbarston, Stoke Albany and surrounding area.
Singing for fun, from traditional classics, musicals old and new, to the latest pop tunes, we rehearse on Monday evenings, from 7.30pm to 9pm, in Wilbarston Village Hall. We also enjoy performing a few times a year in support of local charities and events.
We welcome everyone, whatever your ability and experience. There are no auditions, you just need to love to sing!
Come and join us. Get in touch at albanysingers1@gmail.com or call 07935 666225.

We are a friendly self help group and have regular workshops run by local artists to help us develop more skills and techniques.

Bowls Club
When: Tuesdays 10am till 12pm
We are a small group meeting at Wilbarston Village Hall on a Tuesday morning to play short mat bowls. If you fancy trying your hand at playing bowls, please come along and have a go. Everything is provided at the hall, and new players are more than welcome. The morning is a social occasion with coffee and biscuits halfway through the session.
Each session costs £3.00. Just turn up or contact Anne Middleton 07960 242478 or Peter Whitehead 07413 449786 for more information.
Dog Training
When: Friday evening + Saturday morning
Strutt your Mutt Dog Training offers fun training classes covering a variety of topics using positive reinforcement. The training covers different aspects of obedience as well as the fun stuff! Classes are a great way to socialise and build a bond with your 4-legged friend. They train life skills that will be used on a daily basis. There is also the chance to ask questions. Classes run weekly and cost £48 for a block of 4 weeks. You can choose as many blocks as you like, as every dog learns at a different pace.
Friday: Puppies 6.15pm – 7pm | Adults 7pm – 7.45pm
Saturday: Puppies 8am – 8.45am | Adults 8.45am – 9.30am
Please bring some high value treats with you (e.g. hotdogs or chicken) and any toys that your dog likes too. Training needs to be fun, so having high value rewards are great.
A standard lead rather than a flexi lead is best just so dogs are kept under control.
Film Club
When: Wednesday at 7pm.
Run by volunteers, the Film Club aims to show a wide range of films but concentrates on newer releases to bring the best of Hollywood to a social, community cinema setting. A large 4m projector screen, professional sound system, and bar service make for a great experience at exceptional value. We offer a loyalty card scheme at no additional cost, and welcome viewers from Wilbarston and surrounding villages and towns.
