CHANGE OF PROGRAMME AT THE PIT STOP


ROBBIE Burns once said that ‘the best laid plans of mice and men ‘gang aft a-gley’ and in his quaint Scottish way, he was right. Sometimes life conspires to throw a spanner in the works and this is what has happened for Anne Clarke and the Pit Stop café crew. The result of this particular spanner throw is that, with much regret,


Anne has had


to cancel the appearance of busker Felix Simpson on July 14th. The café will still be


open as usual but if you want any music you may have to sing it yourself. You never know, it could be the start of a great career for someone! The rest of the summer programme goes ahead as planned. The Ukes of Southwold will


take to the stage on Sunday 4th August at 3pm. Their lively and entertaining performance will


provide the backing


track to a charity cream tea – proceeds to ‘Stomp’ and the Scout Hut. Come along,


part with a fiver, partake of a delicious home-made cream tea and support two great local causes. The


sees a quite different musical event.
