Sands Band has nominated August as Transport Month! So far we've taken you to the station and the car show - now we're going paddling on Lake Windermere. Well, not literally. We're playing for the Windermere Paddlers for Life ceilidh at Allithwaite Community Centre, LA11 7QJ, on Saturday 23 August. Dave, our caller, will teach all the dances. All you need to do is to bring some food for a Jacob's Join, some drinks for yourself, £10 per person for admission (children free) and you are all set for a grand evening out. You can reserve tickets in davance from dave@daveandjean.co.uk or paddlersforlife@gmail.com Proceeds will be shared between Windermere Paddlers for Life, and Water Aid. Doors open at 7.00 p.m. so get your dancing shoes on!
Whether it's the Runaway Train or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - or even the Rail Replacement Bus service - we have transport to delight you this Summer. First up are train tunes (and lots more besides), at Kents Bank Station on Saturday 2 August. We shall be playing during the afternoon at the Friends of Kents Bank Station Summer fete. Or if your preference is for road transport, we shall be at the Classics Over Sands car show the following weekend on Sunday 10 August, starting around 1.45 p.m. That's on the Memorial Playing Fields, Yew Tree Road, Grange-over-Sands. (see: https://classicsoversands.org/) See you there!
