Compo update Our announcement yesterday that we are looking for top artistes to record our Reg anthem caused a bit of confusion among those not familiar with "The Red Flag".

This catchy ditty is traditionally sung to the tune "O Tannenbaum". There are plenty of mp3 versions out there on the web to help you strike the right note. Go to it.

Full details of the competition are available right here. ®
