Wow! What a weekend! One of the best ever. Many thanks to all our visitors (and local people too!) for a wonderful weekend of singing. Certainly the new room in the Minerva was a perfect venue - it seems we never left it, doing a great 'anti-Shanty' there on Saturday night and even an 'anti-Survivors' there on Sunday night!

I would have loved to show more of Hull to visitors but the singing (and the drinking) was far more important. Getting completely rat-arsed with Landlocked in Ray and Jackie's conveniently parked motorhome (right outside the Minerva, no less!) was the perfect finish. No doubt we'll see some of you before then, but we're already looking forward to next year.
