A Game of Three Halves... Update...












A big thank you to all the artists who gave their services free and to the audience for their generosity in buying raffle tickets etc and the parrot auction (you had to be there!)... the final figure is: £319 raised for the local charity Rainbows.

Playing and singing on the night were:  Gren Bartley, John and Sheila Bentham, Nigel Lawson, John Prowse, Frank 'Captain Blood' Marmion, Dave Morton, Tom Patterson, Steve Parry, Rod Warner and GU4 (Bill Wilkes/Karen Harris/Pete Burnham/Miggy Campbell).

Rainbows charity update...















The GU4 Christmas gig raised £324, John and Sheila Bentham have added the proceeds from the cd recorded at John's 60th birthday bash last year - £157 - and Bill Wilkes from GU4 has generously donated the £200 given to him as a long service award from his employers.  So: a grand total of £681will be sent to our local charity Rainbows.  The photo above shows John, Bill and Frank (Tapped But Settling) with our venue host, Ian Bogie, the landlord of  The Swan in the Rushes, Loughborough.  A big thank you to GU4 and all the artists who gave their services, to the enthusiastic audience for turning up on such a foul night, to all who donated prizes for the raffle - and to Ian, Dave and the rest of the staff of the Swan for all their assistance.
