Judy, Ang, Lynn, Lana, Heather, Cathie, Linda, Louise, Lorna, Zenith, Thelma, June and Barry attended.

We played: Silver Wings, Moon River (picking pattern of 1, 2, 3, 4, 2 as per version on drive), Only You in C, Breaking Up is Hard to Do, Cryin’ Time, Cotton Fields, You Belong to Me, Wait So Long (from Lynn, Lana will make a new sheet with bigger font in a key easier to sing), Michael Row your Boat, Puff the Magic Dragon, We are Going to be Friends, Don’t Be Cruel, Down on the Corner, Early Morning in G, Four Strong Winds, Saskatoon Moon, I love How You Love Me, Goodnight Irene, Go Lassie Go, Hard Times in C, Amazing Grace, Home I'll Be (with picking), Grow Old with Me, Flowers on the Wall, Let Me Be there in C, and our signature set-ending song.

Heather, Cathie, Linda, Barry, June, and Lynn have committed so far to playing at the MCC annual meeting in Elm Creek on November 14th. UPDATE: Marge and Thelma will also be joining us :) We will be playing for 15 minutes after supper and have been invited for the supper just before.  Supper is at 6 p.m. at the church in Elm Creek. We will play from 6:45 until 7:00 p.m. So far we are considering: Uncloudy Day, Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, I’ll Fly Away, 50 Miles of Elbow Room, I Can’t Even Walk and Amazing Grace. Please check that your versions match those on the drive so we are playing the same version in the same key. If you have a chance before next Wednesday try playing all of the songs, timing them and seeing which key you prefer if there is more than one version of a particular song posted on the drive. We likely only need five songs but it won’t hurt to have an extra in case we need an encore J

I have re-sent the discount code for the new Ukulele Club of Winnipeg song book. These will be distributed at the Prairie Ukulele Jamboree this weekend. I will be there Friday night until Sunday morning and a few other members will be there Saturday as well. Although your invoice will say $20, when I tried it a couple of days ago, I was only charged $15 on my online bank statement. Please let me know if you ordered a copy and I will try and pick up any ordered from our club and bring them back Sunday. If you order later than Oct. 1 the code will apparently no longer apply and you will have to pick up your book likely at one of the twice monthly Sunday UCW strums at the Viscount Gort.
