Seemed quite a lot there compared to recent years. But losing out on 5 hours worth of food sales was a big mistake for the Beer Engine. I did wait though and got a couple of packs of butties and a cheeseburger as I've only been the Chinese down the road once and had fish and peas and wasn't too keen.

The turnout was one of the best ever. I've had feedback from both Roger Robinson & Willie McIntyre telling me how much they enjoyed themselves on the day, so something was right. There's one thing the 'Sons' are good at, and that's having a 'swell time', which I'm sure they all did. |

I thought it was one of the best myself, Nice to see everyone I've not seen since Ulverston or indeed Last year (Mr.Raven). Hope Either the Beer engine get's it's finger out, our we change venues!. |

Just over a week away for the 15th Annual Laurel & HarDay. Saturday 1st September 2007 - 1pm-8pmThis year there is a change of venue. It will now be held at Upper Morris Street Working Mens Club, Scholes, Wigan.Tickets £7 each. (That's the only time there's been a price increase in fifteen years, except for the Ronnie Hazlehurst year!) It will feature the usual activities such as rare films, memorabilia, a charity auction, the 11th World Kneesy Earsy Nosey championship and special guest star Jean Darling (who appeared in 'Babes in Toyland')  |

For anyone thinking of attending the L&HDay this year, here is a little map to help you find the club...  If you need further advice as to which junction to get off from the motorways (M6 or M61), let me know and I will tell you the best route. (unless you've got a sat nav, then that'll be a doddle) |
