A friend asked why is all the news bad news?

I would like to thank Malcolm Storey for taking up the reins 25 years ago following on I believe from Graham Binless of the EFDSS

Not everyone liked his methods(Malcolm) but you knew where you were and his strict adherance to the Traditional singers is to be applauded.
Have a good retirement Malcolm you did well mate!

An excellent team of helpers of all ilks have been vital in ensuring the smooth flow over the years and of course the guests

I also would like to make special thanks to Judy Knight, the Tap and Spile and Peter and Cheree Fleming 'the Management' for taking my hoiday money I enjoyed it but will never recover!!

Judy wasnt too well but always comes up trumps, buy her an eggcup somebody!


The singing room has seen once again and evidenced above some of the finest largely unaccompanied voices in Britain.
Now little Ron (whistling Ronnie) singing Scottish songs with his native North East accent/dialect is nearly as bad as Sid Calderbank with his Lancashire accent

Nice to hear Kitty, Pat and Lynne, Mike, Murph and Edna (sorry i missed you) Mitch, Carol et al[whoops forgot Jimmy and Ken]

All the Barnsley Fc (virtually) were in the No Smoke room and enjoyed it immensely

ps I have changed ny Email address to stop the begging letter (Thousands or More !)(joking) but if you need to contact me please pm and I will tell you new details
Time for a shower
