Olympic torch party

We had about fourteen guests on the balcony for continental breakfast avec bacon butties making a lot of noise and money for FCC. So much so that the BBC zoomed in on us in their TorchCam coverage.

Karaoke Night and BBQ

The BBQ and Karaoke went with real swing as the evening started off with home made Siesta Sunrise Sangria. There were a number of reluctant performers at the beginning of the night, but as the evening progressed more participants came to the fore culminating with the whole Fylde ensemble belting out Bohemian Rhapsody with gusto, with harmonies from Kath and Alan and air guitar solo from Betty.

There were many highlights of the evening including: An outstanding piece of theatre from Chris and Leonard with their interpretation of Delilah. Catherine had the crowd enthralled with her acapella versions of The Boxer and Vincent. Ian wowed the audience with his Rooster Song singing solo with his guitar. He later had the group singing along to his guitar to some Ceilidh classics. Catherine and Betty entertained with their tribute to Abba of Mama Mia. But who could forget Philip and Catherine owning the stage with their Right Said Fred number I am too sexy for my Shirt complete with actions. Oh and the bbq food was not bad either!

The last members reluctantly left at midnight. Members raved at its success and enjoyed it so much that money was given to the kitty as they were leaving, because they enjoyed it so much!

A big thank you to Betty and Ian for the catering, Ian for the use of his house and big thank you to everyone who attended . We raised a whopping £121. The only question now is when is the next one?
