It was my first time to the Bender and wont be my last. The hospitallity and warmth shown by the whole of thw Wilkinson familly was second to none;they made everyone welcome especially first timers - how do they remember everyones name? The whole weekend was fantastic and standard of singing was brilliant, ok, did it matter if you waited three hours for a song? plenty of good choruses to get yer teeth/voice into. Great breakfasts and sandwiches.and beer.Most of all it was the great sense of warmth and comradeship that came from all attending the weekend. a big thanks to all old and new friends. |
