We were pleased to welcome some visitors and two new members to our first face-to-face meeting on 9 September. With sensible precautions in place, members were able to relax and enjoy the evening.

Ian said that he was having trouble with some cheeses in the warm weather. Cheese is a living thing and he said that at the moment it was living like mad! The Brie was practically melting!

She was born and brought up by her parents, with her brother Craig in the upper storey of great aunt Robbie's house in South Chicago and there she lived with her family throughout her childhood and adolescence. Initially, she shared a room with her brother, a partition alone separated the brother and sister. As they grew into teenagers they were given separate bedrooms. The schools she attended were local, within walking distance.

The Band are now back to full rehearsals, whilst continuing to take Covid precautions, and are looking forward to gradually returning to normal, realistically, though, it will be some months before any indoor performances are possible.
