Post by: The Bowler Hatted Turner on February 17, 2016, 02:08:22 PM: :D :D :D Thanks for the replies. I only ask as I have done a few demos now for the WI but always feel a bit odd when they all stand and sing and I am left sitting and trying to appear unaffected. I wonder if this is something that we should start introducing at woodturning clubs and meetings? ;D ;D ;D

When you come to Demo at Burcot on 6th October would you like a rendition of Chariot's of Fire. ;D ;D ;D

Regards John

Post by: Dave Brookes on February 17, 2016, 11:11:53 PM: OK, let's have a bit of fun with this!
Fans of 'I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue' will enjoy this; songs or film titles suitable for an audience of Woodturners.

How about - Return to sender, or True Grit, maybe even Four Weedpots and a Funnel!

Post by: Dave Brookes on February 18, 2016, 07:03:26 PM: Would you please welcome Mrs Binia and her husband Rob and also Mr & Mrs Hole and their son Pilot who has flown in from abroad.

As for the music we have Duelling Banjos and the Johnny Nash favourite, I can see clearly now the grain has gone.
