Folk Club You can find details of our fortnightly meetings here. Membership is free, but you do need to fill in a form - ask for one when you visit. This helps us keep in touch, should things change at short notice, assists us in mailing out information, when needed, and gets you £1.00 off our entry charges when we have a visiting guest artist .As a member you may also, on occasion, be asked to MC a club night or supply a raffle prize. Entry on club nights is free, but we do run a raffle at each meeting to help pay for our occasional visiting guests, when we can afford them. We welcome both members and visitors to share Music, Song, Stories and on occasion Dances. . |
