Community Music Day at Evelyn Page Retirement Village

It doesn't get much better than this!  A full house of over 130 people enjoyed  a great day of music, companionship, beautiful surroundings, and great food courtesy of Ryman Healthcare! We had close on 40 members turn-up for the venue and somehow we managed to squeeze in about 18 performances and involving some 40 players (including the Evelyn Page Choir of 18 singers). Kudos also goes to our guest artists, Denise and Brian Gunson and John Perkin.

 
What a lovely Village and we are grateful to the preparation work done by our hosts for the day, Dorothy and Trevor Waddel and Julia and Bob Bissett. Credit must also go to our Events Manager, Diane Lyons and our Secretary, Delyse Whorwood, and our Club Photographer, Dennis Lyons for making the background arrangements go so smoothly.


All in all a very memorable day to remember. We have even got an invite back to play again next year!
