We have extended the deadline for applying to attend the Prešeren Evening on Saturday 8th March. By agreement with the hotel, there is still time to get in your application. But do sign up now!

It will be a fine evening – with a series of extra generous tombola prizes, and a great new Master of Ceremonies ‘- Michael Žmahar – expect a few surprises from him. As the highlight of the evening, the Slovene singer and songwriter Andrej Šifrer will perform for us, together with his English friends Dave Cooke (guitar player in pianist) and Bill Thorp (violinist).
