What a wonderful way to wrap-up the North Shore Organ and Keyboard Club's 2011 calendar with a fantastic BBQ Xmas Party. Members and guests came and left as their schedule dictated but that was as well given the apartment would have been bursting at the seams if all stayed all day and all night! It was great to have guest artists join us: Len Hancy on vocals; Bev Barnes vocals; John Perkin on keyboards; Ron Stanwell (President of the Tauranga Organ and Keyboard Club) on keyboards and non other than Internationally acclaimed artist, Marian Burns, who squeezed us into her busy schedule for the BBQ and after dinner music. There was lots of jamming going on and many happy, if somewhat tired bodies, by the end of the night. Definitely a Club Christmas Party to remember!
A big thank you to Peter Brophy as our generous host and also to the guest artists and a special thanks to June Stanwell, Secretary to the Tauranga Organ and Keyboard Club, for acting as our culinary host and ably assisted by Peter Littlejohn with his famous Pavlovas and magnificent Christmas cake.
