ACTIVITY There are two main formats for our evenings which take place on alternate weeks, they are: PA & Stage: This is an evening of entertainment where performers have the use of a small stage, microphones & amplification. Performers arrive and book a ten-minute spot. If there is time we usually have a jam session at the end of the evening. Sing-around: This is an acoustic evening. The tables and chairs are set out in a large circle. A stick is passed around the circle. Whoever is holding the stick may perform a song, play a tune or simply pass the stick on! We also have special guest nights: The club will feature special guest performers during the course of the year. There may be a small extra charge to cover the bookings, but this will be advertised well in advance. 5. MUSICAL ABILITY Beginners as well as professionals are welcome at the club. 6. MEMBERSHIP Membership is free. 7 ENTRANCE CHARGE There is charge of £1 on sing around nights and £2 on PA & Stage nights. This money is used to subsidise future guest appearances and goes towards the costs of club events including our Knockholt mini festivals, the Christmas party and the upkeep of our lighting & PA equipment. there may also be a raffle to boost funds. 8. RESPECT FOR OTHER MEMBERS Club members are asked to show respect for performers by keeping noise level low and not walking across the floor or in front of the stage during performances.
