*Subject: World Record Singaround at Leigh on Sea Folk Festival
Over last weekend, at the Leigh Folk Festival the Hoy at Anchor set a new world record for continuous Singarounds of 29 hours 3 minutes with 83 performers singing 422 different songs of at least two minutes each with no more than a two minute gap between songs.
Thanks to all those who helped make it a great success.

So congratulations are in order for the hard working (& non-sleeping)organisers, who made us all feel more than welcome, and made the day the success it was.
Don't know yet how much was raised for Children In Need, perhaps some kind soul will post later.
P.S. I went for the record of longest pump shanty, but was interupted for being boring;-)
