Anne Higgs
We are very sorry to let you know that Anne Higgs has sadly passed away. Anne was a much loved partner and music teacher of the Cheddar Valley and beyond; she was a co-founder of The Cheddar Valley Music Club (CVMC) in 1979 and was aiming for her 50th anniversary!
For those who would like to attend, a committal service is to be held at Weston super Mare Crematorium on Monday 28th April 2025 at 10.30am.
Later on Monday 28th, at 3pm a celebration of Anne’s life and legacy will take place at St Andrew’s Church, Church St, Cheddar BS27 3RF. ‘Bones Apart’ and CVMC will perform much of the programme Anne had in mind for her scheduled 70th birthday concert.
This is not a ticketed event but any donations towards ‘Cheddar Valley Music’ will be gratefully received via the CVMC crowdfunding link: https://edge.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/cvmc
After the committal service there will be a gathering at Worlebury Golf Club and also refreshments in Cheddar Village Hall after the celebration concert. If you wish to attend either of these please can you notify chris.punter@btinternet.com indicating numbers and dietary requirements, clearly stating which one you will be attending, or indeed both if that is the case.
The committal service will be live-streamed, with plans for recording and/or relaying the afternoon Celebration also well under way. Further details upon request.
