2011 - Saturday 5th February - Harwell H factor

We entered a crack team to the H-FACTOR at Harwell Village Hall and won joint second place. Our prize was £15. This was a fund-raising talent show in aid of Harwell Scouts and Harwell village hall fund. Josh, Ben, Lissa, Jess, Lisa and Alan represented Lumbawakk with a fabulous Rapper display. Jess drove the Coxes and Bruniers and they arrived at the hall at 7pm amidst cries of 'are we nearly there yet?' and 'I need the toilet'. The evening started at 7.30pm with Lumbawakk standing at the back of the hall rather than being crammed in a room with lots of little people. They were the 10th of 14 five-minute acts. At around 9pm there'll was a 20 minute interval during which people were sensible enough to vote for us. The Didcot contingent then went home to check up in their parents who were nearly all enjoying a home cooked Indian feast at the Coxes. Hazel had been cycling that day and was suffering. Josh, Ben and their parents thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the 1 hour play - an adaptation of "The Little Prince" performed by MAD Studio - a Harwell based childrens' drama group apparently 'with songs and dance routines of their own making'. Enraptured is the word that springs to mind. Then the results were announced - the winner was a lad singing "Consider Yourself" and we drew for 2nd place with someone singing "Smile". Spectator prices for the evening were £7 for adults, £5 for concessions. Josh then phoned the Squires to share the good news. Sounds of champagne corks popping were heard in Lumbawakk homes all over Didcotshire for the whole night. Well done lads and lasses.
