Our Christmas Club Night was a great success with a record attendance of members and visitors - something in excess of 62 persons in attendance! And what a spectacular treat was awaiting the attendees with the very best of our players giving their all with some superb music and entertainment par excellence! The tradition of Christmas Hampers for our Raffle went very well also with some 12 Hampers won. A big thank you to our members for their generous donation of goodies for the Hampers. A very special thanks goes to George and Jean Watt for once again collecting and packaging the Hampers so beautifully. We were honoured to have join us this evening one of Auckland’s finest pianists, Ben Fernandez B Sc DCS, DMM, BMus(Hons). Ben plays solo and has his own quartet band as well and playing regularly at such venues as Sky City. We are hoping to entice him to come along and play for us next year as our guest artist (fingers crossed!).
The Club President, Gordon Sutherland, recently celebrated his 65th Birthday and the occasion was not allowed to pass unnoticed! A lovely decorated cake and gift were presented to Gordon to celebrate this milestone and as a thank you for all the hard work to keep the Club vibrant.
As always, a big thank you goes to the Committee and door duty staff (tonight it was Yvonne Crann and Sylvia Riddell) as well as “Mrs Mary Claus” (Jeanette Beamish) for making the occasion appropriately festive!
