I would just like to congratulate my wife, Angela, who became a grandma on Monday 24th Sept. Her daughter Sally gave birth to an 8lb boy, both are doing well and Angela is still up in the clouds. Last month I went to Huddersfield M.C. to watch a visiting club perform but due to a mix up with the booking, a confirmation had not been sent and they did not turn up. The night went well however with Maurice Roberts performing part of his childrens lecture, Graham Roe giving us a die stacking performance followed by an explanation. After the break I showed a few coin routines with explanations and Al Conway closed with a couple of card tricks. On Monday 17th Sept. I went to Manchester M.C. where Jack Devlin and Ali Bongo were lecturing. Jack Devlin began by telling us that he was an old fashioned childrens entertainer and the tricks that he was going to show us had served well over many years. I am sure that everybody picked up some tips over the 75mins. Ali Bongo gave us another 75mins of his inventions and routines and again there was something for everybody. Apt joke.
