Nicci & Oz
The St Lazar Hall is conveniently near the 27 bus route
and also to the buses going along the Bristol Road. From Bournville Rail Station, catch the 27. From the 11A &11C bus routes, change on to the 27 at a Linden Road stop, near its crossroads with Bournville Lane. It's in a quiet road, but isn't hard to find on foot from the bus stops. NB. By car note that from the Bristol Road to the Hall is - ONE WAY IN THAT DIRECTION ONLY ! |

WHY AT BOURNVILLE ?
In fact our 1st Brummie Contra was held at Bournville's Dame Elizabeth Cadbury Hall on Good Friday in 2014 -
Bob Morgan called, Recursion (Sam & Grace) were our musicians:
(these are the other duo in Contra-Alt-Delete who all played for us at the Quaker Hall on Sat 10th November 2018).
***
On Bank Holidays we must move from Elmdon Heath C. C. Hall because it is left empty.
It seems this must continue, despite inconvenience to we very regular hirers and users.
***
"On the door" you used to meet Barry. I will miss Barry as a true friend.
He has given great help and support to Brummie Contras.
I sadly acknowledge on a page here, his death due to cardiac failure in February 2017.
It is characteristic of Barry's helpful efficiency that his arrangements to book a Bournville hall, more than two months later were all in place.
