Coffee Day at the Club Rooms 17th October 2010

We held Coffee Day at our Club Rooms rather than a member's home in order to better utilize our Club instruments, particularly our new Clavinova CVP-509. Around 32 members took time out of their busy weekends to attend the afternoon and the general consensus was that it was a great success. Coffee, tea and biscuits were available throughout the afternoon on a side table in the Club Rooms and we tried to create a 'cabaret' layout with tables interspersed around the Room. Some great music was shared also. Thanks to those that brought their keyboards and the  members who assisted with the organization for the day. We must hold more such Coffee Days at the Club!
