Away weekends

Adults weekend is now booked for 22-23 May at Blackwater. The tutor on the Saturday will be Marie Fielding.  We're not sure what we will be doing yet so please come with some ideas of what you want to do.  One suggestion will be to try arranging some music into sets, with second parts and so on.  Another will be to concentrate on some technique. What about learning to teach - you come come prepared with a new tune to teach to others.

The under 18s weekend will be on 4-5 September.  We will have tutors on both days and as well as fiddle playing we'll have another go at setting the countryside on fire, ghost busting and other such responsible things. 

Details for these events, including costs etc will be on the members' page.

Festivals and sessions.

One of the very best ways of improving and enjoying yourself at the same time is to go to sessions and festivals.  A list of possible ones to which we might organise visits will appear here.
