PUT BACK !!
All windows at B91 2SF open properly AND it has ceiling FANS !
- Comfortable Contras - COOL in every sense !

- With easy access also from the M42, the Brummie Contras should
bring much fairer remuneration to exceptional & tolerant bands & callers.
_
BUT lovely, lively dances are enjoyed mainly by a regular & loyal few !
_
Practicably and sadly, it would seem wise to arrange fewer Brummie Contras !
_
IF you'd like to have Brummie C's more often available - especially Summer ones -
just COME TO THEM ! Please just do this regularly - AND bring along your friends !
