£200 was raised for MacMillan Nurses and £200 for Rowans Hospice (in memory of Tony Luff “Luffy”)
Tickets were the usual paltry £12.50 and were available at the Queens Head.
Start attractions for the evening were:
Live music!
Karaoke!
Open mike hour!
The theme was London Underground
Another superb Village Party with a whole range of class acts on stage and in the audience but the Karaoke system must have been faulty as all it could say was “awful”. Johnny Rumble looked rather swarthy with his new face fungus and he and the Jam Jars got everyone on the floor as well as dancing!
