A chance for one struggling 'Bass player' to join us as well.
Due to the popularity of this weekend, we have a similar weekend with

"Dear Malcolm, Just a note
to say that the weekend was great. It was much better
than I had expected as I had thought that it might be
rather solemn and
stuffy
but it certainly was not that. Accommodation, atmosphere
and tuition were all excellent."
