Although we don't have much news to report, we'd like to stay in touch with members and friends of the club. Please remember that help is available from members of Friday Folk if you need it. We are always ready to assist where we can. If you are having trouble with shopping, other important issues, or just want to have a chat please feel free to make contact. You can email us at info(a)fridayfolk.org.uk or phone any committee member. My number is 01727 856508. You may also like to join a Friday Folk WhatsApp group set up by Jane. Please email jane2.johnson(a)btinternet.com if you would like to be added. Please check the T&Cs because there are some concerns about privacy.

Katherine has made provisional arrangements for the Friday Folk Christmas party and we hope that can take place on 11 December. Meanwhile we send our best wishes and hope to see you soon. Regards, Bob Barrett and the Friday Folk Committee

Friday Folk - staying in touch
by Friday Folk 29 Mar '20

29 Mar '20

I hope you are managing OK in the present circumstances. I am sending this email to let you know about our plans for Friday Folk members to keep in touch during the coming weeks. The main platform for day-to-day communication will be WhatsApp. Jane has offered to set up a WhatsApp group for this. To join, you need to install WhatsApp on your mobile phone and email your phone number to her at jane2.johnson(a)btinternet.com. Jane will then add you to the group. The group is open to anyone who attends Friday Folk and is intended for general chat. Please note that your mobile number will be available to other members of the group and that Facebook who own WhatsApp may collect data about you. So make sure you are happy with using this form of communication. Many members use it already and we would enjoy keeping in touch with you in this way. If you are having any particular problems, either now or in the future, you probably don't want to broadcast this to everyone in the group. If so, please send a private message to one of the Friday Folk committee members or send an email to info(a)fridayfolk.org.uk. We will do our best to help with whatever is necessary, such as food delivery and practical support. Wishing you well during these difficult times. Kind regards, Bob Barrett Friday Folk

Come with Friday Folk to the Tutankhamun Exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery, London. See the treasures of the Golden Pharaoh. Alain is making a group booking for this popular exhibition with details as follows. **** Please reply by Friday 23 August **** When: Saturday 14 December. Hopefully enter between 11:00 and 12:00. Price: £34.50 (£31.50 concession for age 55+). If we get enough people I think that I can get about £3 off those prices. Where: King's Road, Sloane Square, SW3 4RY Web site: https://tutankhamun-london.com/ If you wish to come or have questions contact Alain by email: addw(a)phcomp.co.uk. Please do NOT phone until 20th August. To book, please provide: * Name, email address, phone number (mobile preferably) * Number of people. For each person indicate concession or not (ie 55+). I do not want payment now, but will want cash after I have booked. Payment in September will be fine. Notes: I cannot guarantee the above entry time - it depends on how quickly tickets sell. I will contact you if I cannot get a time between 11am and 2pm. Their web site says that the 'price may vary'. I hope that it will not be more than what I quote above. In the evening of 14th December Bob Morgan and Vertical Expression will be performing at the London Barndance, so you will be able to make two events with one trip into London. Go to the web site to see what will be exhibited. Friday Folk
