Thursday night uke-ing is same time and place as tomorrow, and I am looking forward to seeing you all again.

Official start-time for the main session is 7:15 but please feel free to arrive early (any time from 6:30) for social chat and beginners' help.

Thank you to our Volunteers for tomorrow ... Carol (Catering) and Roland Styles/jackie (Projector)

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

Drama at the Town Hall !

16 of us are booked to go to this event on Wednesday 16th october. (I am just waiting for the final money to come in and I will then send out the tickets to you all )

Should be a great night out !

Committed : -

Ilkley Stroke Group 2.00 pm Friday 8th September . We will be including a "final rehearsal in the programme this week.

Jackie is looking for a lift (From Addingham) - Can anyone help?

Woodlands Care Home (Skipton) 2.00 pm Monday 25th September (sign-up sheet on the admin table) - Just 8 people signed up for this so far, so a couple more would be welcome.

New Enquiries -

Threshfield Court ... Vicki is in touch with Claire at Threshfield Court to agree on a date in october, and we should have more news soon.

Craven Open Door (one of our designated charities) Should also result in a date in October - to be announced as soon as possible.

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.

Playlist for Thursday

This week the playlist will include a final rehearsal for Ilkley Stroke Group (for Friday), but there should be time to do others too.
