In a word, fabulous!  The 7.30 Thursdays are our very own local band, comprising many familiar faces.  If you have been to any of the band's performances you’ll know that it is always a packed house whenever they play, with music guaranteed to get your feet tapping.   What do I bring? Bring along your own nibbles, glasses and drinks (soft drink, alcohol etc) as these will not be available to purchase at the event. We will supply tea and coffee (no charge). Dress code Smart casual and remember your dancing shoes! I'd like to get my business better known in the community....
