3rd Birthday Party celebrations

Jean — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 18:23:27 +0000

Hi Folks,

3^rd Birthday Party celebrations - 18^th Feb 2010 – 18^th Feb 2013

What a great evening we had last night - having more of an open mic programme meant that we were able to listen to a very varied range of performances and what a lot of hidden talent came to the fore!

Well done everyone, it was very enjoyable.

Jean and I really appreciate being presented with a framed drawing of our house drawn by George, together with some National Garden Gift vouchers which I am sure Jean will enjoy spending.

Thank you every one, it was an unexpected surprise!

As always, our thanks go to everyone for bringing so much food and the generous donations of raffle prizes, which raised £64 for club funds.

My thanks also to David Wade who came in extra early to set up the sound equipment and shared with me his tips on the setting up process.

The evening ended with a great Thrash. Thanks go to Richard for organising the choice of songs.

Once again, a BIG Thank You to everyone and here’s looking forward to our next event!

Jean — Sun, 02 Dec 2012 21:45:12 +0000

12 members of the Club entertained crowds of shoppers in the Ian Clough Hall at the 'Baildon at Christmas' event on Sunday 2nd December. They sang a great selection of Christmas favourites which was enjoyed by every one.

When they had finished their concert there they moved to the Baildon Club and played for the visitors waiting to see Father Christmas. Well done everyone, it was good fun and raised a lot of interest in ukuleles and the Baildon Ukulele Club.

Baildon Farmers Market

Jean — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 19:38:48 +0000

Baildon Ukulele Club wows the shoppers at Baildons first Farmers Market!

A small but select group of our members entertained the crowds at the Baildon Farmers Market today.

Many thanks to Billy and his friend for busking there right from the start, they did a great job. They were joined by Richard, Alison, Paul, Simon, Chris, Alan, and Ron. The WI provided a collection bucket for us and we raised a grand total of £33.02 which we decided should be donated to a charity – Manorlands was suggested. It was great to play in the sunshine (no wind for a change) there was a brilliant atmosphere and even the Lord Mayor was there!!

We have been invited to play again at the next market on the 27th October so make a note in your diary and come along and join in, it was great fun!
