I just went to the first meeting of a local uke group last night
It was great. It was the first meeting, so it all seemed a little unstructured, but the organisers were very welcoming. And by chance there was someone there that I know, from the songwriters' group I sometimes go to, so it was good to see a familiar face, too.
They had prepared a song book, so we worked through some of those songs, some of which I knew, some I didn't know, but one of the really great things about a situation like that is that you have to learn quickly! I know know the Cm chord which I didn't know previously. And the songs ranged from the Beatles "Let it Be" to Morcambe and Wise "Bring Me Sunshine" and Jason Mraz "I'm Yours." And we have all been invited to bring along songs we'd like to do with the group, so I think I'll seek out some suitable folky songs.
Here's a link to the group's website, anyway:

Hoping to make this a regular thing, I think it will really help me to improve my playing
