Ray Parlour welcomes Barry back to the POW
Firework Night – celebrating 2 years
And what a night we had – the best ever attendance with around 1400 people. We have had so many lovely comments – thank you to all who came along. The fireworks were, as always brilliant, with the finale of 300 shots in 6 seconds (even Uncle Fester would struggle with that one).
Plans are underway for next year – a bigger marquee is a must and we need to keep Colin away from the Bonfire safety fence!!! Get your tickets early next year because I think we may need to limit them!!! Have a look at the photos
Festival of Performing Art……..
“Not the Southend Philharmonic” again, gave a wonderful performance – and thanks to the people who “suffered” the great British weather to come along and support them. Great day despite the puddles …..
Otway and Richard gave their all – and what an afternoon…….the weather was extrememly kind and made for a great British Summer afternoon – what a way to spend the day!!! Lots more to come over the next week …………
The Comedy weekend had never been done at the POW before and we never thought it would be so well attended. Obviously, comedy is the new “rock & roll”!!!
The comediens will be appearing in Edinburgh within a week of performing live at the POW – many names to look out for in the future.
Overall opinion from all the customers is “we want more” ……..watch this space for the next Festival of Performing Art………..
Chelsea Flower Show
Back to Sicily
Well we actually did it – 5 years after the event we went back to Sicily to celebrate our wedding anniversay and catch up with some old friends.
Visiting Taormina was like going home – the welcome you receive is second to none. We arranged to meet up with Liz and spent a lovely afternoon drinking Prosecco and some wonderful wine that might be making an appearance at the Prince of Wales shortly.
Norman Mason Memorial Quiz
The Norman Mason Memorial Quiz was held on Sunday – everyone enjoyed a fun afternoon …..we need to extend the conservatory next year …..

Well done to all – come back for the next one.
Extended family .....they did try but need to revise for next year And the winners ............

David Jason had lunch at the Prince today – Cod Chips and Mushy Peas. What a great lunch time – Rob just a bit upset that he couldn’t get him to work a shift behind the bar.
Come down to the Prince anytime and join the celebrities.

John Otway played at the Prince
John Otway and Richard returned to the Prince. They both gave a terrific show – as always there was lots of laughter as John ”threw” himself into the act.
This year they were supported by Academy of Funk – an up and coming group to watch out for. I am sure they will be performing at the Prince again very soon.
Watch out for news when Otway will be appearing again ……..it looks like it will be very soon.
