West Sussex Accordion Club Has Closed
Re: West Sussex Accordion Club, Cants Lane, Burgess Hill.
We have just heard via our friends at the Guildford Accordion Club that sadly, the West Sussex Accordion Club that started in September 2009 has closed forthwith.
Ron and Sue Bennett wish to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported the club during the past seven years.
I think a lot of people would like to thank Ron and Sue for running the club over that time.
