ABC ceilidh

 

No, it's not a refresher course on the alphabet.  It's an invitation to the Allithwaite Bowling Club ceilidh at the Allithwaite Community Centre on 26 July 2025.  Come and join the dancers keeping on their toes to music by Grange-Over-Sands' very own Sands Band.  Don't worry if you have never been to a ceilidh before.  Dave Rogers, our caller, will explain how it all works and will call the steps for every dance.

All the details you need are on the poster.  Do come along - it will be fun!

Marching on

Welcome March and the beginning of Spring! The month starts with St David's Day so we're marking it with a Welsh tune. It's called "Morfa'r frenhines" which we (not being fluent in the language) understood to mean "The Queen's march". That seemed odd as it's a waltz but it's a good tune and we like playing it.  But now we stand corrected.  Morfa doesn't mean march at all! A Welsh morfa is a saltmarsh, just like ours here in Grange. So maybe The Sands Band becomes Band Morfa if we travel south and over the border? Click on the video to hear the tune.

It's still Summer!

It's still Summer in Grange-over-Sands.  It must be, because the Sands Band is playing for a Summer Fair.  It's on Saturday 20 September at Bridge House Residential Home, Flookburgh, LA11 7JS and we are playing from 1.00 to 2.15 p.m.  Do come along and help us help them to raise money for a new Summer house.  You see?  If it's a Summer house it must still be Summer!  QED.

May song

Well, maybe we are getting a bit ahead of ourselves but we are really looking forward to playing springtime music at the Fell Church in Grange including - you've guessed it - the May Song!  We shall be there on Wednesday 7 May at 2.00 p.m.   Do come along if you can.  The Fell Church, 49 Grange Fell Road, GRANGE-OVER-SANDS   LA11 6AN.  Free admission! If you haven't visited the Fell Church before you are in for a treat.  It's a gem!  Discover its history and soak up the ambience as you listen to our spring programme.  There will be an opportunity afterwards, should you wish, to make a donation to the church.
