May I once again thank you and the rest of the Fakenham Ukes for your performances at our Christmas Tide Festival.

 

We have had many complimentary messages of how they enjoyed the day, and this is down to your contribution in making it so.

 

Again many thanks and best wishes to you and all your members for Christmas and New year.

 

Very best regards to you all
