(Apologies to those receiving this twice...)This month is the 34th anniversary of the
Melrose Tower, and we're in the mood to give our new ropes (installed just a month ago!) a good, long workout. Would you care to join us for our festivities? We always have a wonderful time. Bring the kids, too; our junior band would love the extra playmates!
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
The featured method of the weekend will be
Double Norwich Court Bob Major. (See link at bottom for the blue line.) Several of us would like some practice with the method, and we'll interject tries at it throughout the weekend. If you feel up to ringing it, please take a moment to brush up or learn it!

FOOD
Cathy Russell is organizing a fondue dinner before Friday night's practice. This was such a hit last year that we wanted to do it again! Please let her know if you'll be bringing something for fondueing. (Is that even a verb? I doubt it.)
Lunch on Saturday afternoon is informal; if enough people express interest, we'll have sandwich makings, and perhaps a few pizzas, to share. Otherwise, folks can make their own lunch plans on their way to the afternoon ringing at Kent.
As in the past, we are hosting dinner on Saturday evening. There will be a charge of $15 per adult and $5 per child to cover food costs. Cathy has volunteered to lead dinner preparations; please let her know (at
cathyjump aol com) by Tuesday, Jan 29th if you will join us for dinner, or let Matt know when you let him know of your interest in attending.
HOUSING
If you plan to come for the weekend and require help finding housing, please let Matt know when you let him know of your attendance. There are several options available.
If you can join us, please let me know (
mbogen gmail com or 845-225-0658). We look forward to seeing you!
