Ridley

..car club (Notinghamshire branch) meet up at the British Horological Institute, for a tour of the BHI. A nice surprise today.

Raise the Roof
A joyous event organised by our dry and whitty organist. An excellent turnout at the village church to sing many traditional songs, introduced by the organ man from the organ loft above us. He played, we sang and a dear lady with bad dementia giggled frequently which raised smiles all round. Religion kept well out of it; much needed and boosted numbers no end.

Songs included (title / words)
* Amazing Grace
* Oh Danny Boy
* He's got the whole world in his hand
* Swing Low Sweet Chariot - England rugby union anthem, originated from when Martin Offiah played for a Rugby League team..Chariots of Fire)
* I'd like to teach the world to sing (Coke)
* You'll never walk alone (Liverpool Football Club)
* Somewhere over the rainbow (Wizard of Oz)
* Bring me Sunshine (ie Morecambe & Wise)

& some traditional scottish, welsh, London, musicals and hymns.
