Children in Need, 2015 ...

On Friday, 20th November we will be devoting our efforts to fund-raising on behalf of the annual BBC Children in Need campaign.

(Yes, we know that the BBC's official broadcast will be one week earlier, but is there is another charitable folkie event happening locally on the 13th, So we decided to delay our event until 20th.)

The entire subscription pot for that evening will be donated.
As you all know, we usually ask for a subscription of £2.00 per head, but if you'd like to donate money of the folding variety, that would be most appreciated. (By 'folding variety' I mean cash, not cheques or other promissory notes.)

There will be a raffle.
Kindly bring any prizes that you would like to donate on the evening.

Being Friday, 30th October, 2015 ...

... or 'Halloween Eve', as Paul said.

Spooky things happened ...

Paul wandered across a body of water in very low lighting conditions ...

... with one star awake.

There was a spectre ...

Elayne took us to a cemetery ...

Berry still believes that we are a cookery class ...

A recipe for this creole dish can be found by
clicking here.

Clearly there were evil spirits about.
After half-time a strange chill was felt by all in the room..
Teeth chattered.
We donned additional clothing as the radiators failed to radiate.
Fortunately John discovered the reset button on the CH boiler.
Unfortunately this was not until 7 minutes past 11!

Being Friday the twenty-third day of October, 2015 ...

Berry, in the chair, claimed to be unwell.
He suffers so graciously that no one can tell.

He took us on a journey ...

bouncing over white clouds.

Paul sang because he was ...

HAPPY!

Elayne sang in this foreign language ...

We discussed the merits of the zither ...

Andrew sent us home in full assurance that ...

you don't have to know the words!

Only one small problem: that promo code 'FOLK1' is not recognised on CFT's checkout on their website. You'll have to use the phone.
