Spike Milligan was an English comedian, writer, poet, and musician, best known for his work on The Goon Show, a groundbreaking radio comedy series that aired from the late 1950s to the early 1960s. His inventive humour and absurdist style were highly influential in shaping British comedy.
Milligan was also a prolific author of books and poems, and he wrote a number of memoirs detailing his experiences in World War II and his career in entertainment. His work often combined surrealism with a sharp wit, and he remains a beloved figure in British comedy.

Hi All
Regarding yesterdays news about getting back in to the community centre I've got some bad news. 😭😭😭
Although we were given the news that we could get back in using the small disco area, they have now stated that it is not practical.
I know this is not the news that we wanted to hear but we are still practicing in the Meadow Centre on Friday and Saturday.
I would like to thank all who volunteered to help on Monday. 👍
If you haven't been for a while come along and support your club.
Remember the grading is this November keep studying your books.
