Lots  of Community Groups normally use the church premises on a regular basis and are very much part of the scene at Immanuel.

Walcot West Luncheon Club  We are  sorry  to  report that   this club  which  met  for over  fifty  years  on  Tuesdays at  Immanuel, no  longer  meets .  A shortage of volunteers  willing to  organise and prepare the meals means that  at least  for the time being, the club  is in  abeyance.

 

The Estelle School of Dance : the dance school under its principal Patricia Bennett uses the premises several times during every term-time week with classes in ballet, tap, and modern dance.

 

Another regular group of users is the weekly  weekly Parents of Twins group that meets in the Hall and garden room each Friday between 10.00 and 12.00 offering support to families bringing up children of multiple births.

 

Several choirs  and musical groups use the buildings as a rehearsal venue:

 

The Avebury Vocal Ensemble (AVE) : rehearses from time to time on Monday evenings  (www.aveburyvocal.org)

 

Ten in a Bar : possibly Swindon’s premier close harmony singing group meets every Wednesday evening throughout the year at Immanuel for their rehearsal http://www.teninabar.com

 

Music Bugs : meets on Friday mornings and offers a range of fun-packed music making for  babies and toddlers 0 -4 years (www.musicbugs.co.uk)

 

The town’s  Cooperative Ladies Choir rehearses at Immanuel on Friday afternoons

 

In addition groups from the University of the Third Age (U3A)  make  frequent use of the buildings for all manner of meetings….Military History, Upholstery, and several Ukulele groups!
