What's it all about?
As with previous years, the
main focus of the festival is to give some exposure to
unsigned bands. A second reason for putting on this event is
to expose these local bands to a wider audience, and
introduce their music to people who tend not to spend most
evenings at gigs. To keep things progressing, the format of
the festival is changing to focus on a handful of acts that
really do deserve your undivided attention. Some of these
folks have been delivering excellent music for several
years, and will not disappoint! |

This was another successful and well supported evening.
If you couldn't be there, you may like to know
that there were 72 people in 12 teams present and for once a pub
team didn't win! It It was nice to see several non-church faces
there. Our Quiz Master found some especially difficult questions
this time - he obviously thought the participants were particularly
intelligent!! |

Flu Clincs in St James' Parish Centre in November 2006
A very big
thank you to everyone who has helped at the flu clinics over the
last 4 weeks.
I am pleased to say that our efforts were not in vain and that
not only did we spread a lot of goodwill amongst the local
community, but also that we managed to raise the princely sum of
£550! (£200 was on merchandise and £350 was on tea and coffee.)
We also managed to acquire 7 new members and receive a cash
donation of £500 - thanks, in particular, to one member of the
committee whose selling skills are second to none!
So thank you one and all - a job well done!
