Club Night 5th April 2011

The large audience were treated to a great night's entertainment with some of our talented members in the first half and capped in the second-half by our special guest artist, Louise Lamb who played our Clavinova to perfection. Louise arranged her concert in chronological order working through from the 1920’s through to the 1950’s and choosing a tasteful selection of jazz classics. Wonderful dexterity on the keys and a refreshingly new arrangements created by Louise.

Members generously contributed funds for the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal which will be combined with donations from the Creative Keyboard Club of Browns Bay and the Hibiscus Organ and Keyboard Club and submitted to the Red Cross Appeal Fund.

Two very nice raffle prizes were: Bottle of Pinot Noir wine won by Yvonne and Colin Crann and a leather wallet won by Len and Jesse Osbourne.

A big thank you to Sylvia Riddell and Yvonne Crann for handling the door entry duties for the evening. As always acknowledgement has to be made for the behind the scenes preparation work organized by the Committee.
