Derek's pairs

Before I get to the report on last week's session, there are some parish announcements, specifically announcements of some upcoming theme nights:

• 16 February - Valentine's Day theme of love and lust
• 2 March - St David's Day theme of all things Welsh and otherwise related
• 16 March - St Patrick's Day theme of all things Irish and otherwise related
• 27 April - St George's Day theme of all things English and otherwise related

Any Friday where no theme is mentioned, there will be a session with no theme. Themes are always optional and just for fun (with one possible annual exception but it's way too early to worry about that).
