Friday 28th November Desborough Late Night Gala

Out and about again for Desborough's late night event which also coincided with the Christmas Tree Fayre at St. Giles Church.  Desborough's Christmas lights were switched on by Widow Twankey , helped along by The Ice Queen and Aladdin's Genie - all from Kettering's Lighthouse Theater 2014 Panto. Tried recruiting them but they declined 

It was good fun trying to find enough room between stalls, Fire Engines and ponies/donkey's ( couldn't make out which they were in the dark as I only ever saw their backends)  Next week it's Harborough Christmas Fayre - lets hope there is a bit more 'illumination than there was in Desborough.

There are a couple of Video clips below the gallery 

Not much happens in the closed season Except Practice Nights

Practice Night 24th November 2014

A suggestion had been made to see if we could fit  Lively Jig to " Don't stop the Cavalry" - a Christmas Time tune ( but not really a Christmas song). There wasn't really enough time to make it fit but we have managed to use PC assistance to demonstrate it could work with a tweak here and there

There were odd bits of confusion which made it the usual Practice evening fun!!

Friday 31st October 2014 Ghosties and Ghoulies and Long Legged Beasties and things that go Bump! in the night

Out and about again. This time exchanging Sticks for Light Sabres. The problem is they don't make a noise and you can't bang them on the ground. Still all had a great time at East Carlton Park's Halloween invent. The place was packed! There were Spooky Tours and Ghost Trains. It looked like a fantastic success.  All the side dressed for the occasion. Squire David dressed up as the Invisible Man and disappeared from just about every picture (photographing Black Cats in Coal Cellars comes to mind).  Pauline, Brenda, and Sally dressed for a night out in 'Harboro. Rowena's Vampyre Fairy was attributed to too much Gin.  Thanks to Jonathan for turning up as this let me off to use the camera.    Finaly thanks to Rowland for getting the picture of the night the only time the flash went off  for him.  A few samples below - there are more pictures in the Website Gallery
