Well done the team who played this morning at Morrison’s Auchinlea.
I thought we sounded good and we got lots of compliments.
Raised £214.14 for the charity.
Here is the after party….
Don’t all rush as once…special offer….first to comment ‘I will do it’ in this post wins the task….
Look at the 3 tunes books, the tunes played on their own book – on this page – https://scratchynoises.wordpress.com/tunes-we-play-2016/and the blog post https://scratchynoises.wordpress.com/2018/03/04/successful-day-tune-housekeeping/
Make a list of any single tunes listed in this list Look at this list https://scratchynoises.wordpress.com/scratchy-noises-tunes/ but not in any of the books or the summary of our March tune housekeeping.
Here is hoping someone is willing to do this save me another job.
Well done all for turning up at Blawarthill today. Enjoyed your playing and company. Alison got a great tune out of that bottle.
Anyone fancy revisiting on Thur 15th March to firm up some of these ideas? Some said yes so meet at our house 7-9pm. If you don’t have address pls email me valeriemcc@hotmail.co.uk

Hi All,
CANCELLED
Unexpected snow and prediction for rest of day uncertain.
We will fix another date.
We will go with 21st January for this practice day. 1-5pm.
Location – https://www.blawarthillchurch.org.
The practice will be in the hall which should be accessed from the street behind the church not the front of the church. There is a church service so please don’t try to access the hall before 1245. That might also mean you have more chance of getting parked as it is busy around the church and there will be folk parked to attend the service leaving just before we arrive.
Tea, coffee, biscuits will be provided and there is a £3 donation requested for contribution to the hall hire and coffee.
Tunes will include:
Most of these already in sets at https://scratchynoises.wordpress.com/sets-we-play/
We will also play some of the tunes we played with the smallpipers:
Dug out some dusty tunes and will get them added to next tune book. Also some special tunes written for us….these must go on our next CD.
We will get practicing them in a few weeks.
I think folk enjoyed the day and we look forward to hearing you again soon.
Hello,
Anyone up for a santa dash on 10th Dec? We could have two groups – one jogging, one walking. I think Neil and I can jog…I think we might persuade Dave and Davie to lead a walking group? We might even arrange lunch then a few tunes in a pub after??

Beautiful day volunteering to play outside for the CHSS walk.
https://www.chss.org.uk/supportus/fundraise-for-us/events/walkathons/round-the-clyde-walkathon/
Bit nippy so welcomed the coffee served by friendly staff at the Hilton Garden Room after.
Organiser emailed to thank us and said
‘I interviewed many of the participants as they crossed the finish line and I asked what was their favourite part of the walk; many said finishing! but then said the band’
Possibility if being invited to play at future events.
