Coffee Day 18th June 2012

This had to be one of the best Coffee Days ever even if the weather was the worst ever outside! 26 members made the trek to Algies Bay near Warkworth to be entertained most royally by our hosts Jan and Kevin Johnston at their lovely holiday home. There were lots of instruments to play and some wonderful, convivial discourse. The  luncheon was absolutely scrumptious and Kevin had been out fishing the day before to catch fresh snapper for us to enjoy both crumbed and smoked (Kevin has his own smoker!). It was great to have Gavin and Phyllis Prentice (Break Thru) join us for the day and adding a touch of pizzazz to the proceedings. We were able to plug our instruments into their terrific PA/mixer setup.


Once again, a big thank you to Kevin and Jan Johnston for making us all so welcome at their lovely seaside home.
