Having spoken to Mark, Hartley will be dancing out the back at 2pm followed by singing in the bar accompanied by Big Pete Collins during the afternoon.
As Mark says "the beer will flow". See you all there.

If the Duck house is empty we could all camp there or how about just pitching our tents outside the church that should lower the tone of the place, in such an outstanding area of property values too
Just polishing me pearls now so will not look out of place. Twin set washed and tweed skirt ironed. Anyone for Sherry?

no no sherry how common, port and stilton my dear, simply must keep up the tone dont you know, still with the credit crunch ,otford may well be falling flat, (well it will saturday) the poor ol ducks will be buying all the property, as the prices are (ahem, sorry) crumb -ling, should be able to earn a crust or two to pay for the ever dropping property prices, lets camp in the car park, some of my relatives seem to get away with it for ten days before the eviction notice appears ,so a weekend should be fine, ooooohhhhhh how the mafia will cringe, i could make some pegs and luchy heather just to rub it in.

Hi Guys and Gals

a strange request - could I ask you to have a look in the "Leicester has a Folk Club again" thread and leave a comment if you feel that way disposed

Thanks

We have bits and pieces in different messages but it would be good to have the full programme if someone knows it - hog roast and any non-folk events as well plus any gaps where spontaneous singing might fit in

PS - the ducks were back yesterday - I think they may have been given the contract to restore the pond 'cos no-one else is doing anything :-)

PPS - unless one of them was romany man in disguise

Rafflesbear asked about the programme - 'any gaps where spontaneous singing might fit in.' Whilst Hartley and Big Pete will be entertaining during Saturday afternoon it is not our intention to exclude any other singers who may wish to join in the session. They will be guarenteed a good choral response. We prefer spontinaity to formalised round the room singing in turn.

Much philosphy there Dilligaf. Perversion in sex is like spice in food. Without any, things get boring. But I thought the BG donkey kong was somebody else...

I think I'm with the Mick Farren view - We are the people our mothers warned us about... (well, I could name one or two in Hartley who qualify, who else have a singing sheep or a man with pockets longer than his arms... )

I'm still knitting myself my very own sheep with the kit TDL gave me at Knockers...

One cannot make a sauce from long furry tails.Its the hairs you see? They tend to cause discomfort in the back of the ones throut and once they lodge there ,there the Devil to get rid of.

Right all you lot of deviants. put down your knitting needles, the sheep can wait. Because TDL can't be there, can you please pass the word about our Fox and Hounds Folk Club being very good, and FREE! Norcs did a brilliant job on their website but we still need more bums on seats. The beer's very gluggable and not overly expensive. There is food if you want it too. Thanks. Sue

It appears I have to work Saturday & Sunday now? I shall phone in Wednesday Morn to appeal to my ops managers in protest that I booked this up last week and no one has done sod all about it.

I shall not bother coming Friday has I fear I will be the only one there and if I turn up Saturday it will be on a wing and a prayer. Fingers Crossed.
Peeved off Pete.

Romany man I saw you ferrets dancing round the field near the fire at Knockholt. you should make them little waist coats with felt hats and feathers ?

......yeahhhhhhhhhh!!

The Scout Hut is AVAILABLE for all of you to do a spot of Indoor Camping (some of you do that very well anyway!!)

Five pounds per night. Full English breakfast in The Crown on Sunday morning (price to be set by Mark).

OK, make it known on this thread please if you want to use the hut and the have the breakfast.

Now that, I think, will solve a lot of people's problems (apart from RM's ferrets :-)    )
