The George - Ashley- Wednesday 8th August 2018
In the normal manner of things we should have been dancing here om Thursday 9th at least that's what's on the poster. Unfortunately Eddies funeral was timed for 4.00pm on Thursday 9th with a buffet afterwards. Aftermuch debate we decided we should cancel and re visit Ashley later on although we were fast running out of dates with September coming up fast. When I rang up the George the owner was less than happy. He had so enjoyed our dancing last year that he had built an event out of it for this year. Having explained the situation Chris , the owner warmed and I agreed to see if we could put a side together or 8th or 10th August. We went for the 8th and the side rallied round plus we had support from Gordon from Rutland Morris we put out a strong side and he audience enjoyed themselves , much to Chris the Landlords relief. When we passed around the hat the audience chipped in well over £40.

Revised Lyrics to Bonny Green Garters
Here's to our Eddie we loved him so well
Although to his songs we were martyr's
Farewell dear friend We will all think of you
Every time we dance "Bonny Green Garters"
Eddies preferred variation
Here's to the ladies we love them so well
Thou
Here's to our Eddie we loved him so well
Although to his songs we were martyr's
Farewell dear friend We will all think of you
Every time we dance "Bonny Green Garters"
Eddies preferred variation
Here's to the ladies we love them so well
Thou
