| July. The band play occasionally at the Belsfield Hotel in Bowness, and this occasion was for the wedding of Jill and Tom. A great atmosphere with keen and lively people helped to make an excellent evening. |  |
| June. In the middle of the lovely spell of weather that the country was enjoying, Hornby held their five yearly town festival, and invited Tumbling Tom to play for their ceilidh. The hot weather impacted the turnout, but the band used their reportoire of songs and monolgues alongside the dancing to help entetain the audience. | |
May. After a gap due to holidays, the band drove over to Kirkby Lonsdale to play for the wedding ceilidh of Emma and Mark. In a spell of superb weather, the evening event was held in a Lapland style marquee supplied by Papakata which must be seen to be believed. A great time was had by all, and Mark & Emma said afterwards - Thank you for all you did to help make the evening of our wedding so enjoyable. We all had a fabulous time dancing. |

| March. Our first booking in March was at the Hawkshead Brewery Beer Hall in Staveley, a venue well worth checking out for atmosphere and great beer. Andrew and Rachel are friends of Tony our bass player, and the occasion was Andrew's 40th birthday. A fun evening with lots of people and delicious food. | |

This was followed by the wedding of Alicia and Peter at the Netherwood Hotel. Alicia is the daughter of Jeff and Ann Pimblett, whose silver wedding we played for some years ago, so it was something of a re-union for the us. The enthusiasm of the guests coupled with the calling of Martyn Harvey made for a cracking evening. |

February started off with another retirement party, this time at Preston Patrick Memorial Hall. Cath and John had laid on some lovely food, and the photo on the right shows them well into the Double Gloucester Dance.

Entertainment during supper was provided by two guitarists - Matt Davenport and Greg Brown. They are both final year students at UCLAN studying Music, and both demonstrated their obvious talents on their guitars. |
| Our other gig in February was a return booking for K Fellfarers, the walking and climbing club that Hugh is a member of. As with last year, it was at the Castle Street Centre in Kendal and another sell-out. A great night! | |
January - First of all, the band would like to wish everyone a happy new year, and may everyone have lots of music and dancing in their lives. |
