BorderBox - Melodeon workshop day in the Shropshire Borders. Feb 2018
rees:
Announcing a day of workshops for DG and one-row D melodeons in Oswestry, Shropshire. We have called it BorderBox as it takes place in Oswestry on the Wales/England border.
The date is Saturday 24th February 2018 at Oswestry School.
The tutors are Katie Howson, Rees Wesson and Tony Weatherall.
Workshops are aimed at Intermediate/Advanced players.
Oswestry is a reasonable sized market town very accessible from all points of the compass. There is a Premier Lodge, Travel Lodge, many B and Bs. Non playing partners will find lots to do: walking, cycling, shopping, there is even a pub that advertises looking after your partner!
We are looking into camper-van parking.
There is a basic website at www.borderbox.co.uk - the programme in detail with workshop content, costs, directions and admin details will be on there soon.
Currently the programme is, reception, morning workshop, lunch, (plenty of places in the town), two afternoon workshops, time for a meal, and/or a session, then a concert from the tutors with guests.
Peter Morris is admin. There is a contact form on the website. Please record your interest. Full details and costs to follow.
Any Traders who might be interested please use the contact form or reply to rees@melodeons.com
P.S. Beta testing website and FB page - your feedback appreciated, esp. glitches, bugs and other horrid compootery nastiness :)

Thanks. It's all a bit short notice as it's less than 3 months away but Menus will be filled in due course.

Just to say the workshop day is happening, provided there's enough support of course, to date the booking form has been done, the bank account applied for and Rees is working manfully with Tony and Katie on the workshop contents.
Oswestry school has really good facilities, large car park, and Oswestry has enough eating places for everyone. There are lots of B and B, two Travel Lodge and I know one camping van location that even does breakfast, there are others of course.
Rees has suggested a great concert so we are looking forward to a very rewarding interesting and fun day.
