A chronicle of 'doings' for posterity... and other things of little consequence!
So, here is wishing you all a happy and restful festive season.
Now let us consider folkie activities for 2023.
The next session of The Occasional Folk Club will be on Sunday 8th January, 2023, beginning at 3.00pm at
CHIDHAM & HAMBROOK VILLAGE HALL, CHIDHAM, PO18 8TL.
Reminder ... We will be occupying the upper floor of the hall.
Please use the main entrance which is to the side of the hall, or the external staircase. Please do not try to enter by the patio doors.

Many thanks for the support of everyone who came along.

Well, Dogsbody takes full responsibility for the apparent chaos.
We were graced by the presence of 40 enthusiastic individuals, including a family of three Ukrainian guests. We even had to send for extra chairs!
In spite of the disorganisation, I deem the event to have been a success, and we were able to donate £130.00 to Sanctuary in Chichester. (Thank you, particularly, to the individual who donated the Hungarian 10-florint coin.)
There was no time, nor space, to make a photographic or video record of happenings, but allow me to leave you with a couple of things that are available by other performers in the public domain ...
Dasha allowed us to join her in singing this Ukrainian anthem ...
"Hey, hey, Rise up and Rejoice!"
