Saps at Sea Home Page

From The Bowler Dessert Site

I guzzled jellied reels for dinner last night. They were a very digestible and palatable smorgasbord. The Saps at Sea Tent has concocted a 41-minute DVD of 13 unique video clips and Saps' performances at conventions and I found it very tasty and highly entertaining. The tracks range from Stan and Ollie frolicking to Queen's Thank God It's Christmas (made for the tent's December 2002 meeting and shown at the tent every Christmas since) to Roger Rotten and the Saps Pistols performing Do Wah Diddy Diddy at the 2006 UK Convention. The whole thing has been put together by Roger Robinson, Paul Marshall, Russell Clay and Ron Stokoe. Highly recommended.

You can buy the DVD for £5.00 plus £1.00 for p&p from Roger Robinson, 115 Neil Armstrong Way, Leigh on Sea, Essex, SS9 5UE. E-mail roger.robinson5@btinternet.com.

In addition to our own Tent meetings at the Railway Hotel, the Saps At Sea are delighted to present regular FREE evening and afternoon showings at local community groups. These extra presentations can be arranged via your Grand Sheik. So if you know of a group who may appreciate a little bit of Laurel and Hardy (the downside is the Grand Sheik does his chatting bit!) then please pass on my details to the appropriate organiser.
