19 Jul 10 - 09:27 PM (#2947999) Subject: Date of folk Day in Foots Cray Fixed From: Girl Friday Hi Folks. We have settled on Saturday 9th October for the Folk Day at The Seven Stars. Who'd have thought that when we changed venues to this lovely old pub, just four weeks ago, that we'd be holding a whole day of Folk Music there, this year! Mick the landlord already has Courage Best and Guinness on Draught. I have asked him to put a couple of other session strength beers on. He is happy to cater, either barbecue or chilli and rice with veg option Might possibly do both. He would like an idea of how many to cater for. The proposed format is an all day sing around with perhaps some performers inside the pub in the evening. I am in negotiation with Romanyman re getting Gong Scourers to do some dancing in the garden. If they aren't available, I have a list of contacts kindly supplied by Rafflesbear. Please register your interest below |

" There is a paved riverside area across the road (though we might not be able to take drinks out there). Favourite is a large stage like paved area of the garden that can be cleared of seats. |

22 Jul 10 - 02:33 AM (#2949536) Subject: RE: Date of folk Day in Foots Cray Fixed - 9 Oct From: Rafflesbear Welcome aboard Mick I'm sure the Landlord would prefer us to be on his premises rather than in a public area, even if we can be seen and heard tantalisingly through the gates. That would draw more people into the pub - besides the car park is also a shoppers car park and often quite full on a Saturday although parking should be OK for us as they come and go The slightly raised area should be big enough and is to be assessed but in the meantime if any morris dancer can give us the minimum dimensions required we could check it out Next time I'm there I'll ask the manager of Lidl where the Lido is |

We have our evening spots sorted, unless D T has knee problem. |
