So long, and thanks for all the chocolates!

It was fond farewells last Thursday, it being Anil’s last session before he heads back to India and then off to Germany after graduating from Newcastle University.

Anil, Jo and Lizzie and Ukes4Fun

Anil, Jo and Lizzie - not a chocolate in sight!

Anil has promised to let us know how he gets on trying to find uke-sessions on his travels – or if he ends up starting new groups himself.

Anil said to thank everyone for the wonderful time he has had at Ukes4Fun – and we thank him for the chocolates (I should have taken a photo of them but they miraculously disappeared before I had a chance!)

Thursday Dec 30th – Ukes4Fun at The Cumberland Arms 6:00 to 8:00 as usual

Lovely session last week! I've written to The Cumberland to thank them for the mince pies and mulled wine and they have confirmed that we are OK for Thursday as usual this week. Hope you can make it and, if you can't, all the best for the New Year :-)

CANCELLED: Ukes4Fun Nov 18th; Next session is Thurs Nov 25th – with Birthday Cake courtesy of the Cumberland Arms

The bad news: The Cumberland Arms is very sorry but we cannot have the “music room” next week on Nov 18th ;-(

We could not think of an alternative venue tonight but if anyone has any ideas please let me know a.s.a.p. (The Biscuit Factory closes earlier now so that is not an option).

The good news: to celebrate Ukes4Fun’s 1st birthday, the Cumberland Arms is going to bake us a cake for the session on Nov 25th :-)
