Club member Garry Owen is Uke 55s ‘ukemeister’ and the Club’s ukulele group are strumming some great tunes which they are going to share on Saturday 8 September.  Their repertoire has songs from our misspent youth and it will be hard to resist singing along with the group – there will be words on the screen to help fill in the gaps! The ukulele is a great instrument to learn and have fun playing.

Garry is also the ‘caller’ for the Square Dancing group and they are going to show us how easy it is to dance in a square!  Square Dancing is excellent for mind-body co-ordination and keeps you young with lots of laughs.

Come along and enjoy an afternoon of singing and dancing and be inspired to join in the fun!
