A technical problemis preventing the upload of new images to the web-site.
Consequently we are unable to show the usual number of pictures. In this report we have used a slide show to exhibit the pictures taken, but have also usedsome archived photos where appropriate.

In the pouring rain, early afternoon on a unseasonably mild November afternoon, 37 London Plant Associates sat in their cars at the usual pick up point and waited for the coach to take them to a matinee performance of There™ll Always Be an England, a war time sing-along show at the Brick Lane Music Hall ithe east end of London. This is an old deconsecrated church in Silvertown, opposite the Tate & Lyle sugar factory and close to London City Airport, which has been turned into a music hall venue.

Thankfully by the time the coach arrived the rain had stopped, and off we all went. Due to traffic being very light we had time to stop off at the River Thames Barrier Park, for teas & coffee. On arrival we were shown to our tables and the show got under way. A guest comedian, Paul James, who is from BBC Radio Kent, had the audience in stitches. The stage show itself was very good with all singing along to tunes from bygone years.
During the interval a buffet was served consisting of sandwiches & cakes, all washed down with a nice cup of tea or coffee.
During the second half, the comedian came back on for another 30 minutes of hilarious jokes and more sing-along.
Click here for a slide show with some photos from the event. The show will open in a separate window.
Back on the coach people were asking if this trip could be run every year as they enjoyed it so much. Watch this space!!!
