Suffolk Branch

We meet monthly, usually on the 3rd Saturday of the month, in Bentley Village Hall. Bentley is just outside Ipswich off the A12 towards Colchester. Map from Multimap.

The SRP marks their first session in the new Bentley Village Hall on July 14th 2007 having been enthusiastic users of the old hall over many years. All agreed that the new hall is a big improvement and we are pleased to have played our part to raising the necessary funds to make this happen.

The hall is spacious and airy with much improved acoustics. Why not pay us a visit? A warm welcome is guaranteed for all!

We meet from 2 till 5.15.

All music is provided but please bring a stand and your own instruments. Tea, coffee and cakes are provided for a small charge at the interval. We play a variety of music from Susato to swing and from easy to challenging. New members and visitors are always welcome.

Visitors are welcome: simply turn up or contact our secretary Chris Westren (01473 438730) if you need further details. Here is the .
