 Hello Jazzers… well sadly have not heard from anyone how the night went on Monday at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham…

Certainly missing Fudges photos this week…

I did have some memories on FB one of the band, and a couple which have been on here before…Halloween ones, so it will take some of you back. Goodness I have aged since this was taken! Miss you all.
