Both Ukulele Groups will continue to meet every weekly to play, sing and socialise.
The use of Zoom was becoming less popular and it is hoped that in future small numbers of players will be able to meet in members' gardens and play together.
Details of the venues and times will be provided by the Group Contact.
The Ballet Association has formally announced that the visit to the Royal Ballet Upper School on 28 April has been postponed to a later date, to be arranged. John has contacted everyone who booked a place.
For those with a somewhat serious interest in ballet, we shall again spend a day visiting the Royal Ballet Upper School in Covent Garden.
We are hoping there will be additional spaces for other LALG members. So, even if you do not usually attend meetings of the Opera and Ballet Group, please do get in touch and we will send you details as they become available

Ukulele groups’ 1st Birthday Party
It's been a whole year since we all met up to try our hands at the ukulele. Who would have thought that it would be so successful. Most members have been there from the start, but new members are always welcome.
The group is now meeting weekly on Wednesdays from 10am until 11:30am, but instead of getting together at the Central Methodist Church we meet using Zoom.
See our Group Events.
The group contact will provide the Zoom link and password for each meeting.
We are a friendly and sociable group. We enjoy making music together and often have coffee afterwards.
Some experience of recorder playing and/or reading music would be useful.
Please feel free to phone for a chat.
RECORDERS FOR BEGINNERS
This group could meet on Wednesday mornings. It is suitable for complete beginners and people who haven’t played at all since school.
The ukulele group has been meeting via Zoom. However, each playing alone was found not as satifying as performing together. It is planned that in future small groups (of permitted size) will meet in members gardens and play together, weather permitting.
St Thomas Church Hall, 103 Bedford Road, Letchworth SG6 4DW.
We meet each week to play, sing and socialise.
Group Contacts: See Contact Details window below.
Beginners Ukulele Group
Wednesdays 2pm - 3pm.
The beginners group is going well with 15 members. New members always welcome. You don't need any musical knowledge.
This Group is not meeting at present as our evenings watching scenes from operas or ballets, sometimes complete works, are rather like being at a theatre. This is a ‘bally’ nuisance, but meetings will resume, as Madame Butterfly would say, ‘One fine day’.
This Group attracts good attendances, the evenings being appreciated by all who attend. To keep things special we usually have six or seven weeks between meetings. We rarely watch a whole opera or ballet from beginning to end; usually we watch ‘the best bits’, or those parts or scenes which provide a means of more fully appreciating and understanding the opera or ballet. Sometimes we focus on a particular great performer, Maria Callas for example. Our programmes are always reasonably ‘light’, certainly not ‘heavy’, with the emphasis on enjoying the evening, so if you enjoy opera or ballet, if only a bit, do come along.

I am pleased to report the piano has recently had its yearly tuning thanks to our member Richard Gatward.
