The previous meeting TUESDAY 4th DECEMBER, 2018 at THE FARRAR SUITE -  BANGOR CITY FOOTBALL CLUB

NUMBER OF PERSONS PRESENT - 16

1. MEMBERS CONCERT-  Friday 7th December, 7.45 pm in The Farrar Suite, Bangor City Football Club.
** CANCELLED** We were notified this evening that the room had been double booked.
Bangor City Football Club had booked a match against Holyhead unaware that we had booked The Farrar Suite - a case of grosse lack of communication between the function room and BCFC.
Turning a negative into a positve - a few members will be at the match on Friday evening, not only to turn away our audience - but also to collect money in the collection buckets from Alaw Ward.
Our concert has been rescheduled for TUESDAY 29th JANUARY, 2019
 All money raised will be donated to Alaw Ward at Ysbyty Gwynedd towards cancer treatment/care.
Entry is free - but donations gratefully received.
Music will be a mixture of styles ranging from Classical straight through to Rock -  something to suit all tastes.
(Posters were printed by Printworks, Amlwch who kindly gave us a discount-  we may have more printed for January - they have agreed to give us the same discount).
Room hire has been waivered by management of The Farrar Suite - this will go straight to the fund.
During the interval will be chance to grab a drink from the bar, chat to guitarists and help yourself to cake and nibbles -  a little celebration for our 13th year.
There is our usual end of evening Django Jam - Silent Night - kindly arranged by Neil Browning ALL members/ non members are invited to join in with this - so bring your guitar along :-)
