According to their website Smiles (I really must learn how to do clickies!!) the Black Bull Bender 'bends' this weekend.

I'm looking to go up tomorrow evening until Sunday afternoon. Is anyone else going?

I'm sure there will (as always) be a goodly number of people at this great event.
This is a charity event 'par excellence'It has been going for over 20 years, mostly in the 'cow shed' at Tranmire, with the full involvement of the Wilkinson Family.

Every penny raised goes to support the 2 local hospices.

This is a very people friendly musical event held in part of the most beautiful North Yorks Moors National Park.

Yes it's a great weekend and raises money for the local hospice.

Does anyone know if it's actually on? I've emailed all the contacts listed on the website, one has bounced back and there have no replies (yet) from t'others.

I know from conversation with Nutty that it is 'on', but sadly the Shellbacks are at Hull Sea Fever this week-end so we must await the next one.

It's always the Ist weekend in June and the first weekend in September.

The contact numbers are family. They are probably far to busy at this point to check their emails.

Sorry that you are not going to make it Sue/Bob. Have fun at Hull.

This looks hugely wonderful - but is it always going to clash with Knockholt?

PS it is a hell of a long way to go!

The general opinions are that it is going to happen so we'll give it a go unless I receive information to the contrary.

I'll report back!

Many thanks for all your input....and hello to Bob & Sue, long time-no-see, I hope you're both well. We really must try to get together for a sing sometime.

Best wishes,

John

I am another one champing at the bit to go for the first time who can't make this one.

Know several regulars who all have a great weekend of song.

Make sure you introduce yourself John J. I can usually be found washing up at breakfast time.

Wonderful breakfasts 'in house' and butties all day long with home-made bread buns.

Thanks Nutty, I will do.

We're looking to arrive mid-evening (this evening).

Cheers,
