Hello and welcome!

Hello and welcome to the blog for Bay City Ukers! We are a ukulele club who started meeting in February 2011, and now meet up about once a month at the Golf Club, off Nelson Road, Whitstable. The idea was to create a uke group for people living on the coastal strip of East Kent who found it hard to get to groups in the more central towns.

Playing ukulele has become an extremely popular pastime again over the last few years and uke groups are appearing everywhere. Each is different but ours focuses on simply having fun playing together and doesn't take itself seriously. Beginners are very welcome and we can choose some easy songs to play if you have only just started.

Gordon's email zygite@gmail.com if you have any further questions this blog doesn't answer. Hope to see you there! The wearing of tartan is neither necessary nor obligatory, and if you have a non-uking partner, feel free to bring them along to shake their maracas and sing along.

Next Session

BAY CITY UKERS NEXT MEETING IS.... From 7.30 pm on Thursday 12 March 2020, at the new improved Golf Club, Collingwood Road, Whitstable.

Dear All

Thank you for turning out to what was a loud and crowded uke jam last week - by my guestimate there were about 25 of us there? All in fine voice and willing to give it a go.

Next meeting is 12 April at the same place same time. I'll try to get there a little earlier next time to organise the seating a bit more efficiently...

Keep an eye on the blogspot for news and don't forget the inaugural (easier to write it then say it)- Quex Uke club tomorrow.

Best wishes,

Gordon
