Some time a go I had a phone call from Robin Oakey asking about our Loony Party, I invited him to attend our last conference in Belper and he asked if we would hold a Conference at his venue ‘The Barn’ in Ledbury. Last weekend I visited along with Lawd Lawson, OB Joyful and our Mem Sec Baron Von Thunderclap. It is a rustic and unique barn in the middle of a bustling town. We spent four days there and Robin and his team are great hosts, we enjoyed every moment of it.
We were entertained by an excellent Screaming Lord Sutch tribute act called Jesse Merry, plus an Undertaker/Mortician called John O’Looney, yes that was his real name, telling story’s that you wouldn’t believe! I made my party speech on the Sunday to every ones delight.
I note that The Baron has reported that I have forsaken my White Suit. I had traveled halfway there and suddenly realised ‘****’ I’ve left my suit at home, so had to improvise. Luckily Robin had a ‘Merlin the Wizard’ coat which he loaned to me, it fitted very well and after seeing it was made for me he said ‘It’s yours!’
So its looking like, unless anything changes, thanks to Robin, it will be Loony Party Conference time 2025 in Ledbury, Heredforshire. Sept 25-26-27. More updates nearer the time.
