John Hodgson and myself are taking on Steph’s various tasks. John is one of our entertaining and talented performers and taking on general record keeping and correspondence.

After the wonderful atmosphere and success of our long awaited return to Kempley in July, we are continuing in the same vein. Therefore, we shall be gathering again at the earlier time of 7.15 for a 7.30 start. Please bring your own refreshments along with your instruments and voices.
