A quick reminder of what is in progress, and also news of booking enquiries ...

PLAYLISTS FOR WOODLANDS COURT AND THRESHFIELD COURT WILL BE BASED ON THE PLAYLIST WE USED AT ILKLEY LAST FRIDAY.

Incredible Edible National Apple Day 22nd October (probably afternoon)

This enquiry is at a very early stage, and so far Richard has been dealing with the communications - More news to follow as soon as we know more.

Other things going on

From October, I will be taking a break for the first Thursday of each month. This will give me some much-needed time off and will also give the members the opportunity to run evenings without me controlling it all, and to generate new ideas for how the Club can move forward.

Drama at the Town Hall !

14 people booked via me to go to this event on Wednesday 25th October. The Town Hall have e-mailed me one ticket to cover all 14 people, but have also advised me not to print multiple copies! I will resolve this next week.

New Song

I also have one new song to introduce (with Christmas in mind) ... "Walking in the Air", done in the style of the Mona Lisa Twins. Take a look here ...

I think the Mona Lisa twins have done a great job with this upbeat ver

sion of the Aled Jones classic "Snowman" theme, and it is very uke-able. The "official" version is in Ab minor, so I have moved it up to A minor to make it more accessible to all. (songsheet attached ). I have also simplified the rhythm a bit

We will go through the Playlist for the Woodlands Care Home gig on Monday, just to refresh our memory and go over any wrinkles.
