Back
down south on behalf of Hog The Limelight
to entertain the locals in Hampshire and a return to
Medstead. Well almost. You see the last time we were booked by Medstead we actually
performed in Four Marks, Medstead having suffered a serious fire.
However this
year, although we were booked by the same people as booked us for Four Marks
last year, we were going to Medstead, but we were staying in Four Marks. I hope
that’s clear?!!

| Now for a singing lesson!! |
We go to many places with
strange names. We were recently in Longparish, which got its name because it is
in a parish that is long. We’ve also recently been to a place called Swayfield,
where the fields really do sway. So we were curious about the name of Four
Marks, where we stayed. What ancient, interesting provenance did that name
have?
All became clear when we arrived at our accommodation – no names but this national chain provides lodges for people who travel – and we instantly realised that it scored four marks – out of a hundred!!!

| mmmm that dinner was nice!! |
Not so the Village Hall, a
wonderful long venue with a stage large enough to hold about thirty people;
shame we didn’t bring our chorus with us this time. Also getting ten out of ten
was Mike, who runs this outfit like a crack Roman Centurion. Everything is
thought of, the organisation is impeccable and he fills the hall with 130 local
residents every time.
What a star! Apologies, however, to the very friendly Chairman, whose tea we ate thinking it was all meant for us!! What a pair of porkers....
Show went really well; the
good people of Medstead/ Four Marks were up for a good night and a good night
we gave them.
