Our 2014 season drew to a close with our annual Christmas party night. A very enjoyable, relaxed evening in our regular venue, the station hotel in Larbert. A wide variety of repertoire was performed, mainly from tunes taught at last year's classes with a sprinkling of seasonal favourites. A big thank you to all the staff at the Station Hotel for their co-operation and support over the last year, and for the excellent catering on Tuesday! Classes resume on Tuesday 6th January with a member's night led by Sandy Harvey. Meanwhile, wishing all our members and friends a merry Christmas and a very happy 2015.
