Dear subscriber

May bank holiday is almost here, the weathers looking goodish, and there is a triple forecast of live music this weekend with the World Famous Red Sox tonight at the Village Hall, then tomorrow Vic Cracknell plays at the Fox & Pelican and on Sunday local bands Sunsoma & Grapevine perform a free gig at the Social Club Nothing on Monday though so you'll just have to listen to the ringing in your ears.

Last week I promised you some photos of the St George's Day Tea Party in the Square and courtesy of David 'Bailey' Barrett we have 80 which gives a good flavour of the day - before you click off to see them I would start by reading the news item - would you like to see St George's Day celebration as an annual Grayshott event?

Also new in the grayshott gallery is a photo montage of Jack & the Beanstalk - a nice warm up for those wonderful Panto Peeps who are watching the DVD of their performance tomorrow tonight - at a party - I guess they're going to need a drink.

It's the penultimate weekend of premiership football and fantasy league managers are busy honing their sides in a last desperate attempt to win - well I know I am - screening on Saturday at the Social Club is Manchester Utd v West Ham Utd at 12:45pm and at 5.15pm it's Bolton Wanderers v Sunderland - and on Sunday Arsenal v Everton at 1.30pm and Liverpool v Manchester City at 4pm - also at 4pm on Monday is Newcastle Utd v Chelsea.

Looking forward to next weekend on Saturday is the Grayshott Gardeners Plant Sale in the Square - a good chance to stock up on your bedding plants. In the evening it's the next showing from Grayshott Movies Venus - the amusing story of a pair of ageing actors played (without too much effort or makeup) by Peter O'Toole and Leslie Phillips - tickets on sale at Grayshott Books. Also that night is Charlie Beckerson playing in the F&P. On Sunday it's all fingers crossed for spanish sunshine in the Square - the sangria will be flowing at the Paella in the Plaza - don't forget your castanets.

Are you feeling a bit groggy today? Perhaps you stayed up way too late watching the extraordinary coverage of the local elections - what is Jeremy Vine (growing) on? Being a political agnostic - or should that be atheist? - I'm not sure why I found it so satisfying to see New Labour get such a good old fashioned pasting, but as they seem to have offended just about everybody in the last ten years, I suspect I'm not alone. With the economy in shambles they really seem to have lost it to the Conservatives and I shouldn't be at all surprised to see Congested Red Ken choked off in London later as Blue Boy Boris comes out to play. Whatever happened to Dear Prudence? Gordon Bennett!

Have a great bank holiday weekend.

25th apr - Headley Star Violinist Delights Packed Grayshott Audience - Grayshott concert-goers were treated to a scintillating and exuberant performance of one of the world's best loved classical works on Saturday when Martin Smith performed Bruch's Violin Concerto No.1 in G minor at St Luke's Church to a capacity audience. more...
22nd apr - Grayshott Gardeners Spring Show - The Grayshott Gardeners put on their Spring Show in the Grayshott Village Hall on Saturday 12 April on a typical April day of sun and showers. The day saw a record number of 331 entries, which far exceeded the 198 entries in the previous year. The warm January followed by hard frosts and even a sprinkling of snow had not affected the quality of the exhibits and reminded some of the more mature members of the winters they and their plants had enjoyed? in times past. more...
