Lancashire Night

starting at 7.30

As usual, we will interpret ‘Lancashire’ to include Derbyshire, and even Yorkshire if necessary. Songs, tunes, poems, monologues – whatever you want to bring along – or you can just sit back and enjoy it (joining in the choruses I hope). And food too – Lancashire hotpot, and veggie alternative.  This is a free event; there will be a small charge for the food, and donations are welcome.

We hope to make this a 'blended' event in which you can join by Zoom if you can't get to the Club. To get the link send an email to jeremy Dale
