What a wonderful Christmas Party for The North Shore Organ and Keyboard Club! The fun and frolics commenced at 10 am and continued full-on until about 9.20 pm. During the day, we used our Whiteboard to make sure everybody who wished to play had the opportunity to do so in 15 minute sessions. Lunch was available from the Fairview Village dining room and the Club provided tea/coffee and biscuits on tap for the entire day. About 60 members and guests sat down to a fabulous BBQ outside on the patio early in the evening - delicious! Refuelled by the fab dinner, we were energised to enjoy The Band giving us dance type music to have some fun on the dance floor. The Band included no less a personality than acclaimed musician/entertainer, Marian Burns. What a great way to finish the Club's activities for 2012. Joining us for the Party we were also pleased to welcome Rendall Miller and his wife Shirley and Rendall very generously played a cameo on the grand piano in our Happy Hour as well as accompanying Marian Burns for a number later in the evening! We also celebrated four Birthdays during the evening. Congratulations and Happy Birthday to: Diane and Dennis Lyons; Peter Littlejohn; and Bob McNab.
A very big thank you to the Club's Committee for organising this wonderful Christmas Party and special thank you to Fairview Lifestyle Village for sharing their lovely facilities with us. A special thanks to Barbara Bailey and her bar staff for providing 'refreshments' during our two hour Happy Hour! It was great that Chris Larking from Music Planet, Taharoto Road Branch, could join us for the occasion and share his great music with us also.
