Christmas
|
Now is a good time of year to start
digging out your Christmas tunes ready for those random times when you might be asked to play something by family, friends. It will also get you ready for our December Christmas meeting. At our December meeting we invite people to bring their other instruments or skill to the club. I will write more about our Christmas meeting next month but thought I would remind people that Christmas is closer than you might
think.
