Club Night 4th October 2011

Another absolutely wonderful Club Night with quality music and variety of styles in abundance. Our members played magnificently in the first half and then the evening was crowned by our guest artist and professional musician/music teacher, Dave Hallam, who played solidly for 1 hour 10 minutes including audience requests which he arranged and orchestrated on the fly with consummate ease. Wonderful - thank you Dave.

To celebrate the Club's 34th year of ongoing activity, we enjoyed a lovely 'Mud Cake' at the interval. The candle even played it's own "Happy Birthday" song before we devoured every tasty mourcel!

This was the Club's 34th Birthday celebration as well and so we enjoyed some lovely birthday cake in the interlude. Thanks as always to the Committee and helpers for making the evening go so smoothly. Definitely an evening to remember.
