SqueezeSouth Band Workshop
Saturday 10th. April 2010 at
Woodlands Village Hall in Dorset
The workshop was led by Claire Wren and it went off very smoothly. The day was beautiful - not a day to be inside, but the music made up for it. There were 16 of us in the group which was just about the right number and they had travelLed up to 70 miles for the event.
We concentrated on playing 5 pieces of music:
The last piece was written specially by Claire for the occasion.
Syd ably made up the baritone section – but next time, we need more baritones! Thanks for everyone who attended and made the event the success it was.

National Easter Meet of the
Folk Song and Dance Group of the
Camping and Caravanning Club
Several members of the WCCP went to Sawston Village College near Cambridge to sing, dance, play, paint and learn crafts etc.
Some of us knew we were going and others of us met whilst there. Of the many highlights, laughter and ‘serious’ hard work there were some of our members playing very seriously in the KAZOO orchestra in very large bow ties made out of black plastic bags and some also joined the 50 or so strong skiffle band. Much laughter and merriment for a whole weekend and the weather wasn’t too bad either.

Bampton 2009
On Bampton Fair Day (29th October 2009), Ruishton Band were well received when they visited two nursing homes and entertained the residents for an hour in the morning. Everyone had the opportunity to enjoy all the Fun of the fair before we provided entertainment on the street. We finished off the day with a fabulous Cream Tea and played more of our favourite tunes in Blackberries Restaurant. We're invited back next year if anyone is interested in doing it again!!
