Here is a bit more blurb that Boatboy's found

"The concert, on Saturday, November 25, 2006, will be a first for Cropredy church."

I wonder how? I seem to remember that FC is some form have played there before? And it's not the first gig there either?....Huh

The church rooms will be open as well, there are more toilets in there.
A bar is been organised in the building at the end of Church Lane
The port a loos will be 10 yds from this bar, and the church rooms a further 20 yds.
A mere doddle for true Fairport fans used to hyking up the hill?

Good job nobody is camping , I have just been out across the fields for a paddle with our dogs, the Cherwell burst its banks yesterday.

Looking forward to the new bells , apparentely they are been cast in Whitechapel later this week, once the full compliment are up there we will have to stop calling the bell ringers" the clangers"

Many thanks from little Cropredy for all your help to achieve this.
You will get a shock when you go to the Red Lion, it has been painted with nudy ladies on the walls.

Andy, who wants pictures of flooded fields.
Martin, Who wants pictures of nudy ladies.
 Sorry didn't have the camera with me.
Will start posting such pictures though, this morning was really good, the concert field was white over with frost, the cows are back, and their breath looked like they were dragons.
Aprox fifty Canadian Geese landed in the top field by the river, late this evening, along with hundreds of gulls

The red lion has been closed all week , for re-decoration, the lady who sells her pictures in the pub , has done the murals, frilly knickers and suspenders seem to be the theme.

Looking forward to next weekend, from soggy Cropredy, bon nuit.

Davidmjs,
             I am fortunate to live in a house in Church lane, you could have at one time, have got your daily bread here.
All Fairport people ae welcome at my house, and in cropredy, you are all as much a part of this village as those fortunate enough to reside here.
If you knock on the door it will open, the collie dog will lick you , the patterdale may rip your leg off.
I will welcome you , as does Cropredy.
We will all meet on the ledge.

just had to say that lived right near to the bell foundry in whitechapel for 6 years. Used to walk past it every day. The Whitechapel Bell Foundry is  Britain's oldest manufacturing company, having been established in 1570 (during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I) and being in continuous business since that date Shocked
