Cornish Christmas medley John Harry John Harry's Christmas medley will be stories and poems, mostly in dialect, and we may have a few Christmas 'curls' if there
is time.

Monday 21st January
Members'
night consists of our own members doing their "party
pieces". We usually have some dialect stories, maybe a poem in
dialect and some kind of sketch. So far no-one has sung, but I don't
rule that out as we now have a working piano in the hall. Refreshments
such as sandwiches and bits of cake are served with a cup of tea
afterwards.
