Kautilya Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 pyramid of warm woollies sat Can one approach by sea and if so will the ski jump be working in reverse up the cliff with a tow rope to pull up marine landing parties (pirates with their tinas - they prefer to bring their own rather than risk getting a catchy tune from the local totty!? Have fun! There are a number of remote requests for you to play as listed under musical hall songs under another thread. Please empty the hat after each one so you can tell us which brings in the most moolah == for next time as it were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please empty the hat after each one so you can tell us which brings in the most moolah == for next time as it were. it was a great weekend, over £200 in the bucket for the RBRB ( exact total to be verified ), the weather stayed mainly bright and dry and the woollies kept the cold out. There's a rumour that next year one of the competitions will be 'Guess how many layers of clothes the concertina player is wearing' The Carols/ tunes that had people singing / humming along most and stopping to listen were ...... Adeste Fidelis, Silent Night, God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen, Away in a manger, The Holly and the Ivy, Once in Royal David's City, Good King Wenceslas, The First Noel, We three kings of Orient are, In Dulce Jubilo, The 12 days of Christmas, Deck the Halls with boughs of Holly, I saw 3 ships, Coventry Carol, How much is that doggy in the window, After the ball is over, I do like to be beside the seaside, Down at the old Bull and Bush, Daisy Daisy, In the shade of the old Apple tree, Plaisir d'Amour, The Bluebell Polka and the Trumpet Hornpipe. There was also a request for O come O come Emmanuel. Various waltzes, mazurkas and country dance tunes got the children ( and some adults ) skipping and dancing past. Mugs of tea and glasses of sherry were supplied by a friendly landlord, a cafe served up a helping of Shepherds pie for lunch each day and transport there and back was provided by the organisers .... I'm booked again for next year edited to show total raised ....... £207 the official letter and receipt from the RBRB are with the Victorian Weekend committee for their records Edited December 21, 2012 by anlej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
