Dear All
More good work last night. As you know, our concert last week really was a great success and I am confident we will all do ourselves justice this coming weekend at Motcombe (see below). Please do make every attempt to be with. Last year’s fete was tremendous – it was just like being in an episode from Midsomer Murders but without the bloodshed! It would be great to put on a really good show. Usual dress code of course. Please be in the HEX area by 1.30. (See one of the attached flyers.) We will be singing just after the Mangled Wurzels.
