Just thought you might like to know that Frank, the landlord where we hold the Fox and Hounds Weekend of Singing, will be clebrating 35 years as the landlord this week. I know many of you not only come down to the weekend but also stay there at other times in the year for a break. I'll pass on any messages to him when we see him next.

On the edge of Dartmoor where the weekend of singing is held each May.

I imagine there'll be quite a few F&H regulars at Bromyard this weekend, so tell Frank we'll raise a glass for him there.

So all you people who gather at Fox & Hounds each May, what do you think to the rather intriguing local news report I have just watched. We all love our early morning ramble up to the peaks of Dartmoor, some of us, like myself, with dodgy body parts, find it somewhat of an ordeal, but that could soon all end!
There is a planning application pending for a stair-lift to the top of Haytor! I jest not! Mad, mad, mad! I think a chair lift from the camp site to the top would be much more sensible!
What say you?
Cheers, Lucy

Lucy, are you completely out of your tree? (Don't bother answering, we wouldn't beleive the denials, anyway!) A chairlift! Jeez! It would be so crowded, there wouldn't be any point in going up there.

We're off to the party at the F&H this weekend, so we'll pass on all the good wishes. We may even get a chance to drag our dodgy body parts on a Tor climb too - no chairlifts or noisy folkies, just the sound of singing birds and creaking knees. Ah! Bliss!

cheers

Brian

Guru and Richard and Selchie and myself and Merek and Dary all raised a glass of bucks fizz in Bromyard on Sunday morning to Frank and the Fox and Hounds.

Thanks. Frank was his usual self, Sue started dancing as soon as the band began [irish step dancing a la Sue is something to behold]Loads of thier families had come over from Ireland for the event... and it was very loud... and very packed..and there was lots of drinking...No change there then!
