AT our last meeting we had a lovely musical session with Mike and Pat Ledbury. Mike was on melodeon and Pat on drum. Mike brought three melodeons and gave a demonstration on each. He also explained the difference between a melodeon and an accordion. He then went on to explain how songs were developed, sometimes over several years and from different regions - such as The Cornish Floral Dance. This week we enjoyed a day trip to Gloucester Docks, a huge shopping centre. We also went to the Gloucester Regiment Museum which was very interesting. Our next day trip is to Bournemouth on July 20. If you would like to join our club and enjoy our day trips, meetings and holidays, you will be made welcome. Please contact Morag on 01608 652621 for details.
