Re: who's Going To Tamworth?
I've relapsed and foolishly entered into the Golden Damper, Terry. I've come last in other well known comps, might as well come last at Tamworth as well

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Neville, forgive me, but isn't that the same competition you won a HC or C last year in ? Don't put yourself down so much!

Re: who's Going To Tamworth?
All true Maureen.
No Heather that was the writing.
I'm set to go in the performance this time at which I am most undistinguished.
Not to worry , at least it is a good sized audience and they listen with appropriate manners.
Marty Boyce had a go last year so he inspired me to get into it.
( he did very well, got in the finals I seem to remember )
Thanks Terry. I presume you are coming over to collect your winnings.

You can win lots of things at Tamworth. Glenny won an umbrella. Actually she won something else but wangled Manfred into giving her the umbrella instead, 'cause that was more useful than the prize she won.

Neville, I read somewhere that all things are difficult until they become easy - and the greatest human talent is persistence.
