Norway ExchangeVisit of Lorenskogtrekkspillklubb to Norwich 2003A party of 17 accordionists and friends from the Lorenskog Accordion Club (near Oslo) visited Norwich for the weekend of October 9th -12th. The weather was kind and our visitors saw Norwich in its autumn glory. On the Friday evening we gave a concert of contrasting type of music: Dance and Folk Music from Norway and a mix of classical and popular music from the Home Team. We had a session where we played each other's music together and a Social Evening. They were able to do a little sight seeing, sampled our Fish and chips and an early Christmas dinner. Everyone enjoyed the weekend and a return visit was planned for 2005. ![]() Visit of Norwich Accordion Club to Lorenskog 2005A party of 20 accordionists and partners set out from Stansted on June 9th, anticipating an enjoyable weekend in Oslo, and weren't disappointed. The first evening we were treated to a dance Norwegian Style (and we taught them the Barn Dance). It was a lively occasion (without the help of alcohol which is prohibitively expensive there) and members from all groups joined in with playing. Sightseeing the next day was followed by a concert. The third day we had a 'Playing Together' session followed by a meal and sightseeing. In the evening we were treated to a Norwegian meal and Social evening. Altogether a fantastic weekend and we look forward to another visit from them planned for September 2006.
