The club will be open again the following week, 3 June, when there will be a special Jubilee celebration with Andy King calling the dances. Last Saturday we had a very enjoyable dance at Samuel Ryder Academy. Lots of people were there having a good time. One item of lost property was left behind in the car park. It's a piece of carpet or rug measuring about 2m x 1m. If it's yours, please claim it quickly.

Several members are unwell and can't come, including our euphonium player. We wish them all a speedy recovery. Martin Butler has kindly offered to play the music for us. But there may not be enough singers and collectors to make it viable. So we are checking beforehand who will definitely be coming. Please register your interest by emailing info at fridayfolk.org.uk or messaging us on WhatsApp. And please check the Friday Folk website on the day to find out if it is going ahead or not. Whatever happens, we will make sure that our chosen charity, Rennie Grove Hospice Care, receives a suitable donation.
