I noticed the file type when I had a look at the site, and thought I should send a message to Archie. Sorry forgot!

.ods is getting quite common, but not supported by MS Office, so lots of people won't be able to read it.

Although I've added a link to Open Office above, it is a full office application and therefore quite large. It's good, but not everyone might want to (or be allowed to) load it.

It you (Archie)are using Open Office, better to export your document to .pdf format from Open Office and post that to the website.

You need to install 'Open Office'or some other application which will read a .ods file. 'Open Office' is a free alternative to the MS Office applications. It will read most of the MS Office file formats, but not h other way round

Thanks Terry but it's still saying unknown file - it has an .ods ending - what sort of programme opens .ods files?

When I try to download the 2010/11 programme from the website it can't open because it's an "unknown file type"

Excellent news. Especially as you're only a short drive down the M40 from our club. Choice of days is a problem I know, but as Marlow Folk and Acoutic club is on Wednesdays our members will be able to come along. Roger and I will try to visit soon. We won't make it this week though as I seem to some sort of flu bug and am a bit poorly! Hope you have an excellent evening and hopefully we'll come and join you one Thursday soon. Karen

Cllr gave me and MCP our first booking as a duo at Uxbridge too, and we sort of got co-opted onto the Committee at one point... will try to get there if I'm not too shattered after work!

I used to be on the committee of the old club before lack of members meant it had to close. Would love to be able to come back as it's right in our back yard but unfortunately it's on a Thursday which is the same night as the maidenhead club that malc and I are members of. Hope it all goes well. Will see Giff this weekend at Song and Ale.

Good news...quite a few of our number used to visit (and gig at) the old club in the town centre pubs.

If you can send us some flyers we'll happily spread the word. Even better bring them down to The Cabbage Patch this Sunday!

Best of luck with the reopening, I used to attend when my work took me 'down South' and I was sorry to hear that it had closed.
'Giff' will certainly do you proud, good powerful singer, nice line in patter, & a fine guitarist. An expert on nautical songs, and 'birds in english folk song'. As long as he doesn't play his bowed psaltery I'm sure you will enjoy him!
