The vet says that the three-legged sheep will recover despite the numerous head-locks and attempts to crush it, but the RSPCA are on the look-out for a group of aged beat-niks in the Oakthorpe area

I find Muddle's latest message highly suspicious, coming within a few days of Profumo's death. The leaves are falling in Warsaw.

The next Quarter session should be some time in June. We have new Landpersons in the pub, but they are perfectly happy for the sessions to carry on. However, we are told that it is World Cup in June so does anyone know which, if any Thursday in June there will be no World Cup played? There will be loads of people in the pub with the Big Screen on when it's on so no good for sessions

Full list of fixtures

Looks like either 7th or 29th, as there are matches on all the Thursdays inbetween.

Mmmmm, sounds good to me, Lynne.
If its on Thu 29 June, then I might be able to call in on my way up to the Cleckheaton FF on 30 June to 2 July.
Will you be there Giok? I haven't seen you for ages, well at least not since yesterday!

Well provided the 29th is still a Thursday, that's the one we'll go for!

Great Alan...I'd better check with the new Landlord to make sure he is as accomodating about things like camper vans. I know he's saying he's going to be sticking strictly to closing times........

How are you getting your boat there CH?

Perhaps Ashby->Coventry->T&M->Bridgewater->L&L->Ribble Link->Lancaster... but the Lune aqueduct's still closed, and you can't get above Tewitfield. Or Glasson Dock, then across Morecambe Bay to the Ulverston Canal (I don't think it's been restored yet)?

I'll probably see you next week Lynne. Inshallah.

The Bad News is that I have a gig on Friday - the GOOD news means I cant get to Leicestershire this time either Lynne , so you are spared my bellowing for another few weeks !

Date: 27 Jun 06 - 05:38 AM

Well you'll get here one day Terry!

Sally, I posted you some directions...hope you've got them by now. In case you didn't and for anyone else who needs it: get to the M42 (along the A5 for you Sal) and come off at junction 11 where it becomes the A42. Follow the A444 towards Burton on Trent. You go through Stretton, then on a left hand bend there is a right hand turn signposted Donisthorpe. There's a water or electric station on the corner. Turn right and follow the road into Donisthorpe. By "The Engine" pub, the road bears round to the right...follow that and a little way further on you will see the "Turk's Head" on your right. If you pass the church you've gone too far. The Turks is on a corner, so turn down the little lane and the car park is behind the pub. And there you are!

Now, as the Quarter Session is to be tomorrow, Lynne, (that's just one day - you said that numbers were "never your strong point"!), I wondered what the body count is likely to be?
Not the number of deaths in the boring dreary, dirgelike ballads we will probably be singing (NFDs please!), but the number of attendees.
Sandy & me
Lynne & family
Sally & Shot Dogs (& Steve too I hope but I suppose not, as its term time?)
Paul Burke
Boatin Wend & partner
Some locals too (eg Steve Thompson I hope?)
That's fine then. We'll wow them!
And no football to get in the way either!

Even better than last June, I thought. We all sat outside on the decking outside the pub again and sang and played. Loads of brilliant and enjoyable talent again. Sadly Sally and the Shot Dogs couldn't make it, but we had all the others that Alan mentioned plus a few more. The new landpersons loved it and want us back.

Last June, the neighbours complained....because they hadn't known it was on so didn't get to it at the beginning. So Ted put them on the mailing list and they were at the pub waiting for us this time.

We got to hear a new trio..."Runagle" whose CD will be out soon. I think Louise has a voice to rival some of the well known young folk singers...brilliant!

So thanks to the landpersons, Alan and Sandy, Louise and backing, Sonja, Frank, Tim, Steve, Paul, Maureen, Neil, Debbie and John, Ray, Debbie, Wendy and Nigel, Noel and Olga, anyone I've forgotten, and all the people who just came to lixsten.

Hellooooo! It's that time again! The next NW Leicestershire Quarter session will take place in the "Turk's Head" in Donisthorpe on Thursday 21st September. Who's coming?? In June we sat outside and sang and played and it was one of the best yet...can we do it again this time?

We will be raising a glass and singing a song in memory of Frank (Eagle Wing) Lane too. See you there!
