This coming week, we’ll be meeting in the Town Hall at our usual time of 7.15 for 7.30 and finishing at around 9.00. We plan to continue Chattanooga and Campfire Song, polish The Long and Winding Road and Go Placidly and have a look at To Walk Along This Shore, As I went down in the River to Pray and The Red Kalyna. As ever, something for everyone we hope. There are no words for “Walk” while the others have all been attached over the last couple of weeks. Although we will have some sets of words with us, please do print them out yourselves if you possibly can.
