Hi,
We may, unfortunately, have to cancel the carol singing planned for Friday 16 December. Several members are unwell and can't come, including our euphonium player. We wish them all a speedy recovery.
Martin Butler has kindly offered to play the music for us. But there may not be enough singers and collectors to make it viable. So we are checking beforehand who will definitely be coming. Please register your interest by emailing info@fridayfolk.org.uk or messaging us on WhatsApp. And please check the Friday Folk website on the day to find out if it is going ahead or not.
Whatever happens, we will make sure that our chosen charity, Rennie Grove Hospice Care, receives a suitable donation.
Seasons greetings, Bob
We have decided to cancel this event, as so many people are either away or unwell.
We hope to make a donation to our chosen charity, Rennie Grove Hospice Care, and will provide further details soon.

We hope you had a pleasant festive break.
Unfortunately, the Friday Folk carol singing event had to be cancelled because of illness. We still want to support our chosen charity, Rennie Grove Hospice Care. So we are inviting members to make a donation via JustGiving (link below and on the Friday Folk website). We hope you can support their valuable work.
