WINTER JAZZ IN DEVON
A small but perfectly formed group of our members set off from Market Rasen station one morning at the end of January, to travel to Paignton for a weekend of jazz and socialising. Checking in to our hotel on a wet Friday evening, we were re-vitalised by the first of the weekend’s excellent dinners, followed by the first of the weekend’s excellent sessions of lively music.
The whole event was well worth the travel involved, which went smoothly throughout, helped by the ‘assistance’ organised to move us and our bags between trains wherever we had to change. The weather the following days was fine enough to allow us to explore the town – two of our ladies even used their bus passes to reach Torquay – and we were all able to walk off the generous meals. All in all, an enjoyable time, with good company, good food, good music and a change from your average weekend at home!
