Ypu seem determined to cut acrioss evey posetive suggestion I have tried to make.

Really? Examples please. Your contributions seem to be overwhelmingly negative.

I have asked that we agree to disagree, but ....

But you continue to attack and denigrate the work that I and many others do to promote precisely the music that you claim to love. Am I supposed to sit back and let you do it?

Did you or did you not propose that the only criterion fo encouraging anybody to sing in public was that they shoud want to, whether they where capable of holding a tune or remembering and understanding the words or not? I hasten to add that you proposed this for other clubs as such things did not happen in Lewes.

No. I did not say that.

If you did so - how is this NOT dumbing down?

And if not, not.

I notice you have ignored some of the more inconvenient points in my last post. Who DO you blame for the downturn in the eighties?
