Easter is just around the corner and CHUG has had a good start to the year. We added some new songs to the songbook and had some lively evenings at The Lloyds.
We will be meeting as usual every Thursday throughout April from 7.30pm to 9.30pm.
Gig News
Date: Thursday 2nd May
Time: 11.45 -12.15 (please arrive 15-20 mins before hand to set up)
Venue: Heather Care, St Mary Magdalene Church, 44 Moss Lane, Sale M33 6GD

Public transport: Brooklands Metrolink Station is the nearest to the venue but is a bit of a walk. Anyone planning to use the tram and would like a lift from the station, let Sue know. Number 18 bus from the Trafford Centre stops nearby.
We will be playing for a group of people with moderate learning disabilities who love music. Gill who regularly attends CHUG is involved with this group so it would be good to support Gill. A light lunch will also be provided afterwards so if you could please email us if you are planning on coming along. Sue will be there from 11.20am
With this gig in mind please bring the 2018 gig song book along on Thursday and we can have a play through it.

This is a big school and has a popular well attended summer fair. We have been told by the organisers that we can have free food and drink (including alcohol beverages!). We will be playing outdoors but there are wet weather contingency plans. We will let you know more details as we get them.
