THE DRUM (FATD) - FORECAST OF EVENTS (FOE)- JANUARY TO APRIL 2016

AND CLUB NIGHTS JANUARY TO APRIL 2016.doc
Good
Morning All,
Attached is the FOE for January to April 2016.
As the astute amongst you may have noticed I did not have an FOE covering this
month, various problems caused that, but on the other hand this has allowed me
to normalise the FOEs into one year! As I do them four months at a
time now for various technical reasons it makes it easy to produce three in a
calendar year
As I have just acquired a colour laser printer I shall now be bringing in
colour copies for those who want one for their kitchen notice board or
wherever. At this point, a big thank you to Dave Jones who has been
printing the colour copies on his ink-jet and I very much appreciate his help
in doing this for what must be at least a couple of years now! In order
to do that Dave had to spend a considerable amount of time squeezing the
information into a size that would print on the ink-jet which has a smaller
printing area than the laser. It was he who spent time reducing the sheet
from five months to four at a time in order to negate the need for editing each
time and knowing how long it takes me to just amend it every three months I
know just how much work he had to put in to doing that! For those who
will be wanting to print their own copy on an ink-jet, please be aware
that I have put some spaces in at the bottom of the document which you may have
to remove in order to print on to one sheet of paper.
Whilst I am thanking, and praising, one member of the Jones family I must not
forget the other, Maureen has very kindly put up several club guests this
year in particular but also previously when I have not been able to house
guests for lack of space or other reasons. It is a great boon for me to
have such good friends and considerate club members who are always willing to
help out with any aspect of club life at the drop of a hat. The other
thing which I should mention is that Dave and I have been going up to The Drum
on the morning of a guest night just to help out Mick and Suzie with setting up
the room. Again when Dave was unavailable Maureen stepped in. You
also all benefit from the fact that Dave & Maureen bring cushions along
every week for your comfort.
The reason that I have chosen to thank Dave & Maureen for all that they do
on behalf of FATD in this missive is that they will not be at the Club
Christmas dinner this week which is when I normally offer thanks for the help I
receive in running the club.
The attached document is in Word format but if you need a *.rtf just let me
know and I will send you one in that format or any other. If you do not
want to print it and just look at it on line please be aware that you can
follow up the hyperlinks directly from the Word document to the artists website
by holding down the control (Ctrl) key and clicking the left mouse key on to
the hyperlink that will take you straight to the artists' website.
Finally, as we only have the Christmas Dinner this week on 10 December
and then only one more club night this year, we meet again on 7January 2016, it
only remains for me to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Best regards
David
