Thank you all so much for your lovely comments.

I am not going to get drawn into arguments about it. However when chairmen change hands, questions are asked and more money is expected. I know what my limit is and if one and one don't make 2 then its time to stand up and be counted.

Walesby Village Hall offerered the hand of friendship when I needed it and helped the club to move forward. I sincerely thank them for that. I have seen lots of excellent performers at Walesby and am proud of being part of it. The majority of the artists gave their time free to make the club what it was, and I am so grateful for that.

I promise that if ever the right venue ever crops up, then I may well give it another go.

I will still attend other folk clubs and enjoy relaxing and listening :-)

I am fine for those who asked. When you make a decision, you move on. There is no point in looking back - got to look forward.

I am really sorry for letting down the artists who have been sooooo supportive.

Likewise I would like to thank all the artists that offered their songs for free, for the Yellowbellies CD, which by now must have accumulated near enough £1000 for the Radio Lincolnshire Charity. We can all be proud of that.

I hope all of you will attend the Lincolnshire Folk event on Sunday March the 6th from 1pm to 5pm. It will be at Walesby Village Hall. It would be nice to see you all there.

Cheers
Les
