Saturday 20 September
FALL INTO JAZZ is taking place at Chiddingfold Village Hall, Coxcombe Lane, Chiddingfold, Godalming GU8 4Q from 2.15 pm to 4.30 pm
Our next Branch fundraising event will be a gig by Trad’s Army traditional Dixieland Band. Last year’s event was extremely popular and a near sell-out, so put this date in your diary.
Attendees will be seated at tables, however you are more than welcome to dance if you wish! Alcoholic and non alcoholic refreshments will be available by voluntary payment. There will be a raffle and snacks will be available. Bring family, neighbours and friends.
Ticket price from now up to 18 September and on the door: £20 adult, £10 members and children.
For tickets please apply to Clare Price by email at cprice@guildfordparkinsons.org.uk
