After the stage performances were over we then moved on to the informal part of the night, with people playing in various locations and groups around the room, chatting, drinking tea and coffee, swapping stories and tips, and generally having a good time.
The night ended at the usual 11pm. Thanks go to all who attended and to

Our Next Meeting
|
We look forward to seeing you all this
Tuesday the 16th September. As usual we will give players chance to play on the stage before opening the floor up to playing anywhere around the room, chatting, catching up with each other, learning new tunes etc. Don’t forget to bring your accordion. As usual there will be Tea and Coffee on the go. If you know
someone who might be interested in attending the club then please let them know about us. I am sure that are a lot of people who would attend if only they knew we existed and how laid back and friendly the club is. They don’t have to be players, we know that many people have enjoyed visiting us just for the chat and the company. See you at 8pm this Tuesday 16th September. Please try and make it if
you can. Doors open at 8pm, see you there.
David. |

Christmas Tunes
|
It's probably time to dig out your Christmas tunes and blow the dust off them ready for Christmas. Our December meeting is our annual Let your hair down night where
you can show us your other skills, when we welcome other instruments or types of acts. Maybe you play the bagpipes or trumpet, play a keyboard or have some other skill, then December is an ideal time to share it with us. I mention it now as it’s not that far away and if you are like me you need time to get practicing! |
