Hello everyone and Thank You for picking up your copy of the Guild Book
Recently we had the good news and pleasure of a new member MIDDLEFORTH BRITIS LEGION/BAR 51 to the federation we hope they have a long and happy experiance with us.
May's showcase held at Lostock Hall British Legion was another success,
In the absence of our regular compere Eric Jones we had our very own Ann Bretherton to do the honours,and she did a great job with her banter..
We had three acts on Stage beginning wiith COLETTE a familier face on the Club circuit who gave us a great 40 minutes she sang numbers Old and not so old and satisfied the near capacity audience
Second on was a young fellow ADRIAN,it was his first audition after only two months doing his act,he gave us a nice spot of mostly familiar songs he was a bit raw and average but i'm sure he'll get better as time goes on
It was Interval time next and our 3rd act MACSON DUO where a male/female act with a great stage presence and very experinced act whom satisfied the crowd with some great numbers and I noticed got a number of future well deserved bookings from our Con Secs.
Ann again must be credited with producing another fine Showcase.Further thanks must go to the British Legion Bar staff also the Con Sec LINDA and JANICE for making an outstanding buffet for us,The commitee of the club for our usual welcome
And thanks for you loyal clubgoers for your support.
