[Panards-dansants] Les Panards Dansants need YOU!

[graham knapp]

Hello!

I'm writing this from my home on top of a sunny hill in Sheffield, down in 
the People's Republic of South Yorkshire.  I'm still a bit dazed after a 
weekend of dancing and partying at the Leicester Fest Noz but I'm looking 
forward to another session of Les Panards this Thursday evening.  We'll all 
be in a good mood as England will have bounced back from their defeat at the 
hands of the French last night and thrashed Switzerland. (Gwenaelle seems to 
have turned French for the moment - I look forward to reminding her she's 
really Swiss on Thursday night).  ;-)

Steve will be off learning new tunes in France but Geoff will be along to 
play some more magical numbers for us, along with our increasingly talented 
set of regular musicians.

And very importantly we'll be having our brief Annual General Meeting (AGM) 
during the break - it will only take about 30 mins and will give us a chance 
to update you on how the finances are looking and make plans for next year, 
and this is where you come in.  We could really do with one or two extra 
committee members for the year ahead to support and keep up the good work of 
our current committee (Jane, Janet and Yannick).  If you would be willing to 
volunteer a bit of time to the running of the group then we'd be very 
grateful - It involves committee meetings about once a month (more in the 
lead-up to special events) and as much or as little commitment as you're 
happy to make outside of that.  There's no money in it I'm afraid - none of 
us get paid for our time, but it's a very rewarding activity and good fun.  
Please contact me if you'd like more info or want to volunteer, or just turn 
up and have a word with us on Thursday.

Many thanks and see you then

Graham
