<< Sandpiper Folk Club Charity event in aid of MIND : 13th December 2017
"The club would like to thank everyone who took part in this event, be they performers, audience or helpers. It was a fantastic night capped by the ingenuity of the performers to weave lines from the “12 days of Christmas” into one of their songs. There were some amazing efforts but there could be only one winner. Ken Stott went further!! He wrote an original song incorporating the lines in a humorous and entertaining way to the great appreciation of the audience. Hence, he won the prize of a 1 litre bottle of whisky. (Whether it’s still 1 Litre we are not sure!).
On a more serious note the efforts of everyone present raised a total of £220
We are pleased to inform you that Scott Parrish has completed his epic New Zealand cycle ride of 3114 km. He would like to reiterate his thanks to everyone for their support.
We would all like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Peaceful New Year. Hope to see you all on the 24th January"
