Ukulele for Beginners.

After the preliminary meeting on Monday 4^th November, it was agreed that the ukulele group would meet weekly at The Kensington House Social Club, Station Road, Maghull. The meeting will be from 13:00 to 15:00 pm. So far we are 14 strong, and that is about the right number for a beginners group, so unfortunately we are full for now. However if there are at least 10 more people who want to start ukulele, then a second beginners group could be formed. This would be on a Wednesday afternoon, venue to be finalized, at about the same time. Anyone who showed an interest previously  and didn’t make the opening meet at St Andrews Church hall, should contact the leader, Mike, in the next two weeks, to register further interest in a Wednesday group.

Contact Mike on 07786381961, or email mnewton9@yahoo.com

Due to unforeseen circumstances our next meetings in November and December are cancelled We would not have had a meeting in January as the first Wednesday will be on New Year’s Day so our next meeting will be on Wednesday 5th February.

Christmas 2019

A reminder that we looking for a volunteer or volunteers to organise this years’ carol concert after David Kearney very kindly led on our very enjoyable morning last year. If you are willing to take this forward or help, working with others, can you let myself or another Committee member know by 30th September – we can share with you what has happened previously which should be helpful. We are hoping a concert can be held on Tuesday 10th December which will be our final meeting of 2019.

Law for Fun

Please note that the meeting due to be held on Thursday 18 September has been cancelled as a large proportion of the group aren’t able to attend.

Christmas 2019

At our Committee meeting last week we discussed whether a carol concert would be held this year. Last year David Kearney very kindly led on this and we all enjoyed a very successful and happy morning. No one on Committee has the capacity to organise a concert this year and we are again seeking a volunteer or volunteers to lead on arranging a concert. If you are willing to take this forward, working with other volunteers, can you let myself or another Committee member know by 30th September – I can share with any volunteer(s) what has happened previously which I’m sure will be very helpful. If no volunteer/s are forthcoming, a coffee and mince pie event would be held on Tuesday 10th December which will be final meeting of 2019.
