Coffee Day 17th August 2009

Coffee Day at the Evans' beautiful home in Campbells Bay - just strides away from the sparkling Hauraki Gulf beach. With 27 attendees plus Brodie the resident host dog, this had to be close on a record attendance. How could you not wish to attend such a great occasion with the veritable feast of magnificent keyboards to play or just relax and listen to. We were not disappointed with everything from Bach to the Beatles all compressed into about 5 hours of musical bliss! Thank you Roy and Evelyn for sharing your lovely home with the Club. Evelyn also very generously donated some great items for the Club Night raffles - very much appreciated Evelyn. It was good that Doug Farr could be with us on a business day and play some great music for us.
