Friday is Trafalgar Day

Let's mark this milestone day in Hedge End and have some fun at the same time with traditional English music.

The StGeorgeFest committee is laying on a ceilidh with dancing and live music by Jigfoot and shanty singing led by King John's Morris Men.

No previous experience is necessary.

Celebrations start at 8:00pm, Friday 21st October at the 2000 Centre, St Johns Road.  £6 a ticket, £15 for a family.

  1. Trafalgar day is also the Missus birthday - Sarah Horatia Slominski.
    (We will be hanging out the bunting and firing a 45 gun salute.)
    I used to know a Sue Hardy who claimed to be descendant of Victory skipper Captain Hardy and maintained that Nelson's actual dying words were:
    "Kismet Hardy,kismet"

  2. ... and anticipated a successful Broadway musical comedy.

  3. Stephen - What better way to celebrate your lady wife's birthday than by bringing her to a fun evening of lively dance and song. A special rendition to Mrs Slominski could be arranged and a great time guaranteed. P.S. Could we borrow the bunting and the gun please?

  4. That's a lovely idea Jenny, but the kids have got their own plans for her!
    My wife also shares her birthday with our next door neighbour and a close family friend whose middle name is ..wait for it..Nelson!

    Anyway, I am sure you will have a great evening.

    BTW. Did you guys know that Nelson's French opposite number,Admiral Villeneuve was taken as a POW and billeted at the 'Crown' at Bishops Waltham from where he was given leave to attend Nelson's state funeral?
