Well ..... another one under the belt

Sat was really good (for those who missed it)
Started off at noon with the usual mix of booze and music and just carried on from there!
There was the (free) singaround in the front room with some well known performers joining in with us of a less professional bent. After about 3 hours the room was too full to squeeze a meodian in, so the back room came into play with a more refined session of song and music ....... did I mention there was beer there too?

We had a quick curry break for tea ..... we had to travel 100 yds to find a good curry house!

Suitably refreshed we returned to start the evening concert at 8.30. It starts to get a bit hazy after this but I turned into a party pooper and got a Taxi home at about 1am. Others however continued to party at a friends house and were rumored to have quit at about 7am!

12 Noon Sunday was the start of the "survivours Session" ..... a gentle affair with the majority drinking soft drinks for some reason.
After about 4 hours of banter and song we decided to call it quits ....until tomorrow night!
Well it is a Swinton Club night!


My thanks to all who organized, helped, performed, sung along to ....or even bought me a drink!

Two tickets for next year please Dave (el Gnome)
