We're looking forward to hearing you and showing you our new club-room in the Elephant & Castle , which has excellent acoustics, more space and even better Harveys than the Lewes Arms.

The other thing to look out for is the Angel of Death on the stairs, photographed by Will Fly and shown here with Alan Day. She appears to have escaped from the 1996 Glyndebourne production of The Queen of Spades.

I hope your appearance will bring some other Crane Duet players out of the woodwork as well as plenty of old friends.

Tootle pip,

Valmai
