Stay safe in 2021!



Registration for SAM 2021will open
when we can confirm safe access to the grounds


Dear Music Pals,

It will come as no surprise to learn that we have, with regret, concluded that we cannot safely hold a Summer Acoustic Music event this summer.  It just isn’t possible, given the level of uncertainty that surrounds the current virus pandemic, to hold a satisfying, rewarding event that is also safe and prudent for participants and for the camp staff.  We don’t want to put your welfare or that of the camp staff at risk.

Although we can’t have SAM camp this year, we fully intend to resume activity at the same old stand and at the same old time next year -- that would be August 29th through September 3rd, 2021.  So get out those pencils and erasers -- mark your calendars for next year.

I will miss seeing you all, as I miss seeing all my friends, and, of course, will miss hearing the music that was to be, and now will have to wait.  But friends and music will, I trust, both be back next year.

While we can’t have a SAM camp this year, we can look forward to better times in the future.  Keep yourselves safely for now, and bring your music back to your friends next year.

Cheers,
Mark
