Hello,
A lot of you will know that each year Wombat and I have a "do", the prime motive of which is to have a grand session of singing and playing and drinking and eating. There is a spin off in as much as we also try to raise some money for the Runswick Bay Rescue Boat.
This years do will be held on Saturday 13th March from 7.30 onwards, at Milnsbridge Socialist Club, Bankwell Road, Milnsbridge, Huddersfield, (West Yorkshire, UK - for our friends across the water).

This fine little venue played host to our 25th anniverssary do recently and it's looking forward to us gathering again.

For those of you who are wondering what the Runswick Bay Rescue Boat is and why we raise money for them...........

A rescue boat entirely funded by voluntary donations, after the withdrawal of Royal National Lifeboat Institution funding in the late 1970's. It costs in the region of £10k a year to provide the service, so any little bit we can do must be worth it if it helps save lives.

We do hope you will be able to come along and support this event, which has taken place for the last 7 years. The money is raised from collections, raffles, forfeits, auctions - and this year there will be a spectacular hand crafted quilt which will be either auctioned or raffled, courtesy of Zanymouse.

Hope to see lots of you there and if you let us know you're coming we'll provide food for you during the course of the evening to help soak up some of the alcofrol !

See you there, if you're not there you're .............

Never quite figured that out yet

Sorry. I have just realised that I haven't figured it out, either.

Wotcha Raggytash!

The quilt is underway and has a very country theme. It is in pale blues and greyish blues with a deer theme. There is a lot of ivory in it and it will be ivory lace trimmed. As soon as it is finished I'll take a piccy but I haven't a clue how to load it!

Will there be somewhere to park the camper?

Hi, I've had a go at a blue clicky thing, hope it works.
This should be the right map
Miss Z

The quilt is sounding lovely.

There is room to park the camper in the car park next to the club, alternatively, you are welcome to put it outside our umble dwelling, so you get to use our facilities!

UPDATE:
The world does have piles AND they are situated in Huddersfield - predominantly in Milnsbridge.

As much as I raised the eyebrows a tad at reading Raggys unfounded comments on the city I love, I will not have Milnsbridge and in particular the" Milnsbridge Socialist Club" slagged of.Me and the Fusiliers did a gig there for the celebration of Wombats and Raggys twenty fifth wedding anniversory and it was an absolutly splendid night.

Not being a great lover of clubs - having had several bad experiances doing gigs in them - I can only say the place is fantastic !!!! If I lived in Milnsbridge it would be my local.

Thanks for that kind remark Ossonflags. Hope you and the gang will be able to come along, after all, it is for a very good cause.

Guest please add you tag to the thread, being a Lancastrian merely living in the fair West Riding of Yorkshire in presuance of my Missionary work I have no particular axe to grind. However I feel duty bound to challenge you to a duel by song (see MC Fat threads) and therefore command you appear at the said venue, at the appointed time so that I may defend the honour of my adopted domicile. You may bring a second should you so wish.

I wish that Linda and I could make it (she quite likes her uddersfeeled), but it's bit too far to drive - even for such a good cause - I am a RNLI shoreline member and have supported other independant lifeboats. We were staying near Runswick Bay during our Whitby trip last year and saw some details.

Hope it goes well.

Raggytash, I was merely responding to the totally uncalled for outburst against the city that I love. I do not as it happens have any axe to grind against Huddersfield or Milnsbridge, but I do with someone who it appears has shown his true colours against Hull, with a pompous attitude stating 'John dear boy'. Having said my piece I will end this now and let you get on with your event. I do genuinely hope you have a good evening and raise money for a very worthy cause.

Guest 4:10 - Perhaps if you did have any axe to grind against Huddersfield or Milnsbridge you could eventually wear them away !

Hi, just thought I would bring this up to the top again!

Perhaps we need to change the thread title to get a few more hits! A word with Raggytash is required I think.

I've not spoken to Peter yet, but he will be invited, whether he attends and whether he plays is entirely up to Peter, no presuure or enticement will be put on him. If he does it's a bonus
