I repeat no classes during this time due to Hawaii trip.

ALL CLASSES WILL RESUME TUESDAY 30TH JULY AND THEN AS NORMAL. We will need to re attend these classes. Once we are back from Hawaii as we will need to pull together for our festival. We are the highlight of our festival and folk are coming from near and far to see us and enjoy our festival.

Ukuleles to Hawaii. I am getting mixed reactions and advice from airlines, travel agents and so forth – please stand by for information. The common knowledge is we can take them on as hand luggage.

A crate or container was too complicated and expensive.

Phew!!! over and out for now.
