I'll say hello to Lester, Nottingham and Derby as well! Enjoy your dinner Les and PM me a doggy bag please. Food is very expensive here in the South. A nice dripping butty would be welcome.

Good luck with it. I hope you get a big turn-out. Does Uxbridge FC still exist?

Yes, Uxbridge Folk Club does still exist although in a somewhat dormant form at the moment and it seems that the occasional concert is to be our forte in the future. Time will tell.

Will there be custard with the Spotted Dick? Drool, drool.

Hows that Golf Course then. Played there a couple of times.
Hows the traffic these days :-) Glad I don't have to do Bracknell/Rickmansworth (via Denham) anymore - it put years on my life :-)

Don't know about the golf course, not having a pet golf, but the traffic is still bad. My current record stands at 45 mins for the 3 miles from the centre of Uxbridge to home. Funnily enough I do the reverse of your journey Uxbridge/Bracknell via Iver Heath at weekends. Even using backroads it can be a nightmare.

Any news on the custard?

Ooops! Finger trouble.

What has gone off, the custard or the traffic? Hope it's the traffic.

Hi Villan,

Golf course was OK last time I played it a couple of years back.

It won! But they always do!

I always end up right (litterally) at the bottom of the hill, when you drive towards the M25 on the 10th'ish. Out of bounds on the left.

Sorry to drag you all off the subject of golf (do I hear cries of thread re-creep?)but this musical soiree is now only a week away and tickets are going - not sure where - so if you are in the area and fancy a rollicking good night out for the price of about 3 pints of best (it is round this way) why not come along and say hello. I'm the fat one with a beard and no hair by the way, I wouldn't want you to confuse me with Mrs Johnston!!

Villan, surely you remember Refreshers, made by Trebor Bassett I think. Refresh are just a smaller version.

Be nice to see you on Saturday George, hope you make it too.

Surely people don't still live in Uxbridge. Why isn't the folk club in the Gardeners Arms. Ickenham's a bit posh for a folk club although there used to be good music in the Coach and Horses a while back ( mid 60's )

I actually remembered to ring the Compass theatre today and book our tickets!

Zorg - Derek's got himself an Oyster card, so we're thinking of going by train. Does the bar sell anything worth not driving for?

See you Sat.

Pity I can't get there, I'm in the depths of Spain. Still,
best of luck with the event. Nice to see the club's still alive.

Thanks, CBS for a really good evening - and to Uxbridge FC for organising it, and Becky Luscombe for your set at the beginning of the second half.

Thanks Kitty, glad you enjoyed it. Well, a full house means that Uxbridge FC lives to mount another in our series od occasional concerts (not to be confused with Les Barker's occasional table). Don't know who, when or where yet so watch this space or another very much like it.

Thanks are also due to Peter Slavid and Glen Johnston.

See you at the next one!!

If anyone's in the Uxbridge area and kicking themselves for missing CBS you won't have long to wait till they show their faces in Middlesex again....at Twickenham on April 1st!

C, B & S still on top form with their great voices and wonderful harmonies and it was good to hear Becky do her set. Nice voice and good choice of material.

A very enjoyable evening.

Thanks for the lift home, Kitty.
