I'm Back and thanx to Nora + Noreen

Hi all,

Well I'm finally over the two days of charity music work. But first I'd
like to say thanx to both Nora and Noreen who have kept me informed of all
the 6x6 activities and the March received squares. Good job there is three
of us...lol.. Thanx N.N.

Well now where to start, on Saturday night I guess, I joined the Starry
Eyes Performance Initiative Group, ran by my duo partner Sally, it is a
group aimed at giving kids a chance to sing or perform with workshops to
help them along, they are now able to do shows and the children range from
six upwards. Some of them have huge talents, and some of them show signs of
having plenty. This group has cleaned up the streets of gangs of kids
hanging around, given them something to do, and to feel proud about. When
they get into their teens I take on the older ones and show them the ropes
for gigging circuit. Anyway they were doing a charity, so Sal and I were
with them, and sang as well, so that was a late night, we didn't finish
singing til gone half twelve and I got home here about 2am.

The next day they joined me, in a pub in Westbury Wiltshire, the home of one
of our White Horse's, beauty spots, and we sang along with several others
right through til midnight...there were plenty of things going on. A
raffle, Name the Doll, Guess the weight of the doll, skittles, an Auction,
and a Slave Auction, now that's a good money spinner for charity if anyone
is thinking of doing anything, you get so many girls and boys or lads or
men, whatever, who will be willing to be sold for five hours work,(you can
alter the hours to suit) then they are sold to the highest bidder, one guy
has to build a wall for his master, the landlady of the pub bought her
security guard for fifty UK pounds, as it was cheaper than the rate she has
to pay, and also she bought two girls to do some ironing for her...Now if
the slave can't fill his or her obligation or wants to buy him/herself out,
they have to put into the charity what they were sold for.. quite a good
one for raising funds that is, and it totalled two hundred pounds on it's
own. Each slave was chained and had a ball on the end of the chain too,
although they were only plastic ones, but it looked good..lol

Anyway the all day event went off smoothly, and was great fun, but again it
was a late night, and Monday I was shattered, I somehow managed to count up
the money and find out that we had raised over one and a half thousand
again, and yesterday took it to the Respite Centre who were delighted with
it.

Today, I'm still feeling a bit tiried, but well on the mend now...lol. Oh
and nearly forgot, the guy I promote, Tim, he got there later than he said
he was going to, I took one look at him, and knew something was wrong.
Apparently, driving back from Devon, near Cornwall (UK) he'd been the first
one on the scene of a car crash, and had to stop call the emergency
services, but he said it looked awful, the girl passenger was screaming, and
her partner had something from the car embedded in him, Tim doesn't think
he'll make it, and Tim had to keep him awake, whilst trying to calm the girl
down, and not to allow either of them to move. He was shaken up badly by
this, but still did three numbers from his album for us, after the pub
landlady had given him a coffee etc he was able to do this. I told him to
go on home after that, he needed his rest anyway, it's a long drive from
Brixham in Devon to Westbury Wiltshire. two hours at least, and he had just
done a two hour or more gig. Plus he had to go to the police station again
on Monday to give a further statement of what he witnessed.

Anyway that is it all in a nutshell, and the pub is carrying on for the rest
of the year making money for the charity, next year the charity will be
changed. Probably to M.S. as the chairman who helps me with this, his wife
suffers from this and wasn't well all that day, but still did what she could
to help.

Again my thanks to Nora and Noreen.......cheers.........Crafty Cher

Cher... you're entirely welcome! While I can't participate fully like I
used to, one thing I don't mind doing is forwarding the received notes to
all three of us!
Loved reading about the concert, etc!
Hugs,
Noreen

Hi Cher,

You deserve a couple days of rest after all the enjoyment. I was thrilled to
read the account and especially the auction.

Hugs,

Nora
