Havering Folk Club News
| Havering Folk Club News
8th November 2009
Last Week: Wow, what a truly unusual evening our guest artists, Sandragon gave us last week! I love those medieval sounds (the raushfeife’s my favourite) and the gang gave us a varied programme which was much enjoyed by all judging from the applause. They even had us clearing the tables and having a go at some medieval dancing. Good fun and very entertaining indeed. We also had some floor spots from our regulars and these were Bert Dady & Keith Petty, Kriss Pouch, Simon Oliver, Margaret Brown, Andy Roberts and Linda Worley. Haverfolks’ Outside Activities: A reminder that Chelmsford Star Barbershop Harmony Club, of which Dave Worley is a member, will be hosting a concert in aid of McMillan Cancer Support on Saturday, 28th November 2009 at Chelmsford County High School for Girls, Broomfield Road, Chelmsford, CM1 1RW. Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start and tickets are just £5. Apart from Chelmsford Star themselves, there will be several other guest artists. A slightly early next, but I’ll put it round again nearer the date: This is a Traditional Folk Carol Service to be held at St. Clement’s Church, Leigh-on-Sea on Sunday 13th December 2009 from 6.30pm – 8pm. Regular Haverpeople, Foxen will be performing along with Famous Potatoes, John Coppins, Jack Forbes, Peter Monk, Roy Brown, Suzanne Higgins, John Smith, Chrissy King, Honeygales, Essex Singers’ Club, and Ken MacKinnon. The performance is in aid of homeless, famine and church charities. I’ve not been told the price of tickets, but I feel sure Foxen will enlighten me. I’ve attached a poster for anyone able to give this a bit of publicity. Christmas Dinner: Our Christmas Dinner this year will be on Wednesday 16th December at The Golden Lion and will be followed by an open session. The menu is: Starters: Mushroom Dipper Prawn Cocktail Soup of the Day Main Courses: Traditional Roast Turkey Traditional Roast Beef Fillet of Salmon with Tomato and Basil Source Asparagus and Brie Tart Desserts: Profiteroles and Ice Cream Vanilla Cheesecake Christmas Pudding. Prices are just £7.99 for two courses or £9.99 for three courses. If you’d like to come along to the dinner this year please let us have your choices and payments by the end of November. Next Session: Wednesday 11th November is another of our open sessions, so I look forward to seeing you there. Make it a date – Wednesday at eight!
