December Concert 2024

A splendid Christmas fun concert, thanks to the Group Organisers Simon and Gail, the Concert MC Jon and Organiser Pam, and the wonderful audience. This year’s second highest attendance only topped by the 30 Year Concert night. Refreshments featured Rudolph reindeer cakes which flew off the plates so fast there are no pictures … just a faint jingle in the air. Looking forward to 2025!

What was the last thing you did for play or fun?

Great question! You ignore play and fun at your peril. The last thing I did was play the ukulele (although hours before I was also involved in a festive team quiz). In fact I was playing not just any ukulele but it was my banjolele and I was practising 4 George Formby songs – how on message is that?!
