We are very pleased to be able to announce the launch of a brand new range of models which are designed and produced exclusively for us by the world renowned Cooperativa factory in the Italian town of Vercelli. We are proud to present the Ballo range of extended keyboard compact body instruments, which consists of the 96 bass 39 treble key “Paris”, New York” and “Roma” models. These top quality instruments complement the existing 72 bass 34 treble key “London” Ballo model which is extremely compact and has proved very popular indeed.

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.
