03 Jan 10 - 05:46 PM (#2802477) Subject: MGAS @ Lewes (UK) Saturday FC 9 Jan 10 From: My guru always said Just in case anyone happens to be in the area, it would be lovely if you could come along to Lewes Saturday Folk Club on Saturday 9th January where I'll be singing a few songs during the evening. As it says in the program, there'll be plenty of chances for floorspots so I'm sure there'll be some wonderful singing!!! But if you're in the area the following weekend, there's an all-day sing at Barcombe on Saturday 16th January, it's always a fabulous event, so please put that in your diaries. Hope to see & hear you either on the 9th or the 16th! Hil's web-page - a bit basic, but you'll get the idea.... |

05 Jan 10 - 08:29 AM (#2803869) Subject: RE: MGAS @ Lewes (UK) Saturday FC 9 Jan 10 From: Will Fly Lewes weather forecast this week... I'm also hoping to get along - all depends on the snow. We'll probably get more snow in my neck of Sussex than in Lewes, but let's see what happens... |

05 Jan 10 - 08:36 AM (#2803878) Subject: RE: MGAS @ Lewes (UK) Saturday FC 9 Jan 10 From: Rasener We have cancelled our concert on Saturday at Faldingworth Live. The weather isn't that great and the forecast isn't any better. We felt for safety reason, it would be better to postpone to another date, when the weather is better. |

But on the other hand, if it's at all unsafe to travel, I wouldn't want anyone taking any risks! |

With luck it will have cleared by the weekend, but we'll keep you posted. Valmai (Lewes) |

Too far in these conditions, but Lewes is definitely somewhere Christine and I should come and do a spot sometime. You'll all have a great evening with MGAS, I'm sure. |

08 Jan 10 - 05:03 AM (#2806387) Subject: RE: MGAS @ Lewes (UK) Saturday FC 9 Jan 10 From: TheSnail Just had a word with Hils after discussing it with the rest of the committee and we've sadly decided we have to cancel. The club won't go ahead at all. We'll fix up another date as soon as we can. It's just started snowing again here. Bryan Lewes Saturday Folk Club |

08 Jan 10 - 05:28 AM (#2806396) Subject: RE: MGAS @ Lewes (UK) Saturday FC 9 Jan 10 From: Valmai Goodyear Very disappointing, but inevitable. We look forward to welcoming Hils to Lewes when the weather is warmer. |

We've postponed our next Herga guest night (Les Sullivan, who was due to perform next Monday) for a couple of weeks... just hope the weather will be better then! Kitty |

08 Jan 10 - 05:30 PM (#2806979) Subject: RE: MGAS @ Lewes (UK) Saturday FC 9 Jan 10 From: My guru always said This weather is wreaking havoc with my social life!!! Such a shame we've had to postpone, but it's definitely the right decision under the circumstances. Many thanks to Bryan, Valmai and the Committee for making the decision to keep Folkies in Lewes safe and warm! If you believe the weather forcasts, both Surrey & Sussex will be totally snowed in tomorrow. We've gone to extreme lengths at the Cottage by closing all the shutters on the windows which has already made quite a difference to the temperature indoors. I'm looking forward to sorting out a new date to sing at Lewes, preferable on a nice sunny weekend when I can happily combine it with a squirty ice-cream hunt *grin* So sorry if anyone's disappointed, I hope I'll get to meet Will Fly one day!! |

09 Jan 10 - 08:22 AM (#2807409) Subject: RE: MGAS @ Lewes (UK) Saturday FC 9 Jan 10 From: Valmai Goodyear I could probably put one or two extras up if it's during the university term time as my daughter's room will be unoccupied. (Bryan does the regular Saturday night bookings and I do the workshops.) I hate to think of anyone being unable to do justice to the superb Harveys Best Bitter at the Elephant. Yes, we had another lot of snow in Lewes overnight and it's still coming down. Kitty's right about the Lewes avalanche; it killed eight people. A pub called the Snowdrop is now built on that site. I might amuse myself by making one of Vicki Swan's snow lanterns today (photo on her Facebook page). It's a sort of igloo about a foot high built loosely of snowballs, with a small entrance wide enough to admit a gloved hand and insert a tea-light. My son suggests making a snowman with a head on the same principle, but adding a couple of rookies (Bonfire bangers) for that special Lewes touch. |
