We will be meeting this Tuesday 21^st March. Doors open at 8pm with a hybrid meeting as usual.  We will start with any players on the stage who want to play or practice playing to an audience, then we will move on to having the rest of the evening as a Practice Night. This way we can cater for most people’s preferences in one night, if you prefer to play on stage please arrive sooner rather than later and we will see the stage performances first.   As usual there will be Tea and Coffee on sale at 20p a Cup.

See you at 8pm this Tuesday 21^st of March. 

David.

The Accordion Shop in Rochdale is closing down after nearly 50 years. The current Manager Peter McCoye is retiring at the end of May and no suitable replace has been found which has led to the closure of the shop. All the Stock etc will be going to their other shop at Sunningdale, Berkshire. There is currently 10% off all stock and Instruments will still be under guarantee.  You can find them at 54 Drake Street, Rochdale OL16 1NZ  Telephone: 01706 658283
