End of Juniors Party

As the Monday after the last day is a Bank Holiday we are going to have the party on the Sunday night. I'm in discussions with 2 Norwich bands and one from Liecester who've done a Juniors party before ...

A Song of the Weather

January brings the snow

Makes your feet and fingers glow

February's Ice and sleet

Freeze the toes right off your feet

Welcome March with wintry wind

Would thou wer't not so unkind

April brings the sweet spring showers

On and on for hours and hours

Farmers fear unkindly May

Frost by night and hail by day

June just rains and never stops

Thirty days and spoils the crops

In July the sun is hot

Is it shining? No, it's not

August cold, and dank, and wet

Brings more rain than any yet

Bleak September's mist and mud

Is enough to chill the blood

Then October adds a gale

Wind and slush and rain and hail

Dark November brings the fog

Should not do it to a dog

Freezing wet December then:

Bloody January again!

(January brings the snow

Makes your feet and fingers glow).

My job on this comp is nearly over ... a few people will be chased for A/T payments - I can't understand why their details are bouncing - I've probably got to the stage I can't read the hand writing!





Next comp the Junior Nationals - more information will appear over the next few weeks!

The new tug arrives
