I've been in touch with The Bay Horse Inn, Stourport-on-Severn, DY13 9JA, and they will be delighted for us to meet there, as in previous years, to celebrate the official birthday of our favourite musical instrument.
If my reckoning is correct, last year was the seventh year of this event, and the third time at The Bay Horse Inn. It is within easy reach of the M5 motorway, not far from Kidderminster
It is an informal event in their delightful beer garden, or indoors if it's wet (which it won't be). Starting around 12.30pm, we will get together for a chat and a strum, and to honour the arrival of the SS Ravenscrag at Hawaii on 23rd August 1879 - which gave rise to the birth of the ukulele. Good food and drink available at the bar, of course.
Our good friends Ukebox Jury from Swindon (Richard, Barry & Chris) will be there, and a number of others have pledged their support.
Please join us if you can, for an afternoon of conviviality and music making. It is not a big event, usually around thirty people. All are welcome.
See you there!
John Colter.
