Annual Picnic Gathering

& Annual Club Meeting

We will meet September 14, 2024, at 10 am, ready for playing, and will plan to eat around noon! Directions to the Studio location are below.
We will start by practicing two songs the whole club will share at our Christmas gathering, Dec. 14, in the Bridgewater Retirement Community Chapel. These can be downloaded here (Dona Nobis, Jingle Bells (DAD) and Jingle Bells (DAA) and Jingle Bells Lyrics.
There will be time for individuals & groups to share a song they are working on, too! We will pause at noon for sharing our picnic lunch, and a short annual business meeting. Our time together will conclude with a gathering time for playing tunes together. The list of tunes for this month is listed at the bottom of this page.

Bring a dish to share with others! Drink, buns, cole slaw, BBQ, and tableware will be provided.

The location this year is at The Studio, 100 Virginia Avenue, Bridgewater, Va 22812. This is different from our 2023 picnic venue, but still in the Bridgewater Retirement Community. Since this is an indoor location, the picnic will be on “rain or shine”, hot or cold! A map and directions are shown below, and there is parking nearby.
