At long last we were finally able to meet in late October to have the joy of making music together again. We played some old favourites and a couple of new tunes. It will be so good to meet a few more times before the end of the year. We were all sad to hear about Pat’s husband and wish her all the very, very best. She is a treasured member of the Recorder group.

After a research process considering a range of variables, the Recorder group has decided to resume for shorter, one hour, fortnightly sessions, applying social distancing rules and maximising ventilation in the U3A meeting room. The group has been keeping in touch during the lockdown period and is looking forward to being able to meet again on Wednesday 27th October from 10 to 11 am.
Chatting with convenor, Janet Douglas, it appears the Recorder group hasn’t been able to meet for months. It is very difficult to stay masked and play the recorder! Reed instruments such as the recorder are also subject to more restrictions than other instruments. It seems rather unlikely that the Recorder Group will be able to play at the end of year ‘Meet and Mingle’. However, they are keeping in touch by email and trying to take time to practise!
