In which case, Jen, and for those of you old enough to remember: I'll clean a big, big carpet; for less than half a crown (basso: for less than half a crown...)

Unfortunately I did figure out what Hamish was on about - eventually.

Less than 2 weeks to go!

For those staying in Kirkby Fleetham there will be transport to Leemimg Village Hall on Friday evening. This will be provided by some of our "locals" who will give up a night's drinking to ensure our visitors have a good a time as possible.

There will be no charge for this..... but I'm sure those doing the driving would really appreciate being bought a pint or 2.....on Saturday night obviously!

Lifts will leave at 6pm and 7pm from outside the closed Black Horse pub in KF.

Cheers

Paul

As I say, I'm not judging..... wouldn't want to make myself that unpopular!

If you (or anyone!) wants to enter the song contest please email Richard Grainger at [e-mail] . He is running the song comp.

Reminds me of that verse from Albert and The Lion

There was no wrecks... nobody drownded

Dear Confused of Gainsborough...I'm afraid 'tis indeed the case, Andy has written a cheerful song, in fact it's so cheerful, there are no fatalities whatsoever...and more so, everyone is having a jolly time...hard to believe, I know...I blame the drink!
