'Getting Started' requires lots of concentration!

1/3/2024

The Ukes4Fun ‘Getting Started’ group, which gathers in Room 1 each Monday at 11 am, has been working with several tutors over the past month, with Elly and John taking the class when our roving photographer called by at their last session in February. Such concentration on the faces of all involved!

Before too long, Ukes4Fun ‘Just Jamming’ group members started arriving, gathering in the auditorium for their weekly jamming session at 12 noon, playing and enjoying a growing repertoire of songs accompanied by increasingly proficient strumming.

Thanks go to Elly, Neville and the two Johns – Barry and Sleinis, for working with Heather during February to prepare for upcoming sessions and for taking leadership and mentoring roles when Heather has been unable to come to class.
