Being Friday the 27th of June, 2014 ...

On this day, in the year of 1556, eleven men and two women, (subsequently known as the Stratford Martyrs,) were burned at the stake for refusing to recant their Protestant beliefs.
That was during the reign of Queen (Bloody) Mary ...


"Be frightened ... very frightened!"

Thus die heretics.

458 years later some friendly folk met at our usual venue to enjoy the innocent pleasure of sharing music.
We couldn’t burn Ken because live flames have been banned.
Mave knows why!

By mutual consent, (coercion or default?)  Paul accepted the throne of benign governance ...


Doesn't Paul have a benign countenance?

Paul is the only person who has ever succeeded in playing a melody on this device ...




Ken said, "Rollicking!"

Lynda was an orphan on God's highway ...


Orphan Girl at the Cemetery
Ack: Mr Squirrel.


No mother, no father ... there was widespread weeping!

Tony ran a workshop for children.
"I like to pee up the wall!" he sang.
We all joined in with hopping marsupials ...




Dogsbody wept.

Mike P. took us fishing ...


... and I used to sleep standing on my feet...


Meanwhile Mike H. sang about his birthday suit ...





We all went rollicking home on the evening tide...




Important news ...

We are assured of occupancy of the Guide Hall on Friday, 4th July.

The latest intelligence is that the builders move in on 21st July.
We should be OK for 11th and 18th.
After that we could be obliged to take a short holiday.
