club review by Jack McCully

Hi all, Friday night started off looking like a potential disaster because most of you were absent. I hope you all have sick notes. The evening started with my son Gordon singing to a bare room and continued with me doing my bit. During my spot we were joined by a few more people who were obviously friends of the club guest Des Basterfield. This greatly improved the atmosphere of the club. The first half then ended with a short spot from Des who was in his customary great form. During the interval another unexpected arrival was Ed Kainyek suitably attired in flat cap. He quietly prepared his two saxophones, an alto and a soprano, the latter of which I thought could have been the missing evolutionary link between clarinet and saxophone.
Due to the late start caused by waiting in the vain hope that some of you lot would turn up the second half was one long brilliant guest spot by Des and Ed. At one point dancing broke out in the room and I was invited to participate by a most delightful young lady called Agata. She even pretended not to notice when I trod on her toes. Sorry Agata. So that is the story of how a disaster was very successfully averted.
Hope to see more of you next club night. Jack

club review

Hi gang, thank you to all who came to the club on Friday, considering it was first night to open after summer holiday closure, It also was nice to have such a good crowd, and to musicians, singers and poet (Rob) who made it such a really entertaining night. Thank you to Ian, Jack, Johnny, Rob, and Des Basterfield who came and did a spot for us, and if that's anything to go by we're in for a brilliant night when Des is our guest on the 29th, that's where the next club night is so make a note in your diary it should be a night not to miss, hope to see you on the 29th Aug, take care till then, luv Lxx

quick note from Ian Sproson

Just a note to tell you all that me and Lorna lit a special candle in Lourdes. We think it may be a first, this being a tribute to our good and faithful friend the club mascot and guide dog for me. A sad few moments in what was a lovely few days in a lovely place.. Sang my song for Bernadette twice and wasn't struck by lightening.
