About THE OCCASIONAL FOLK CLUB


THE 'OCCASIONAL' FOLK CLUB.
(Formerly The City Folk Club.)

For the forseeable future we meet 'REGULARLY!'
on the second Sunday of every month at
Chidham and Hambrook Village Hall ...



This fine, historic building is a converted malthouse
in Main Road, (A259,) near the junction with Chidham Lane about midway between Chichester and Emsworth.
Nearest post-code is PO1
8 8TL.



Adequate parking at the rear of the hall is accessed via Chidham Lane.
There is wheelchair access and a lift.
Our events are BYO, and we have use of a kitchen, but bring your own tea/coffee, etc.

Our next event ...



Note start time: 2.15pm.

To avoid congestion in the car park, and intrusion on an earlier booking by a children's theatre group, please try NOT to arrive before 2.00pm.


You might see/hear these wonderful musicians ...


Or join in a chorus with Howard ...



Now who is this strange fellow? ...


Bonnet and Shawl is a song composed by Dave Webber.
Please join in the chorus ...

I'll show you the sun 'cross the fields in the morn.
I'll fetch thee a bonnet and deck it with corn.
I'll buy thee a shawl, thread with ribbons of blue,
To show you the measure I trouble for you.


Come along and claim your free badge ...



All varieties of song and acoustic music are acceptable.
There is no obligation to perform; listeners are welcome!
Consider it as a gathering of friendly people with a shared interest.

We call that FOLK!


The Occasional Folk Club is a not-for-profit organisation.
No individual derives any financial benefit.
We ask for a contribution of £2.00 per person, (cash only,) to pay for the hire of the venue.
Any excess contributions to 'the pot' are donated to charity.

We do not book guests; nobody gets paid!

There is no formal membership, but we keep a mailing list.
This is helpful for advising any special events, change of plan, cancellation etc.
If you would like to be included, please speak to Colin during the session, or send an email to cityfolkclub@gmail.com, or phone 01243 574021. Mobile: 07798 517523.
