Coffee Day at Knightsbridge Village

What a lovely day spent at the beautiful gated community of Knightsbridge Village near Mairangi Bay. We were the guests of our Committee Member and resident of Knightsbridge Village, Margaret Black. Lots of music, great conversation, superb cuisine and sumptuous surroundings - how better to spend an Autumn Day. A big thank you to Margaret Black for promoting Community Music Day at the Village and also to  Diane Lyons for organising the event as well. A great job was done by our members that manned the Information and Raffle Desk as well. For those that could stay on, it was nice that the bar was opened at 3.30 pm in order for us to continue with some informal playing whilst enjoying a refreshing drink. Some good photos also courtesy of the Club Photographer, Dennis Lyons.
