Coffee Day at The Peninsula Club, Whangaparaoa 19th May 2015

Our first Coffee/Community Music Day at this lovely Lifestyle Village on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula. We were made most welcome by the Management and Social Committee (Pauline and Vincent). We had around 30 members in attendance for what was a great day of superb music, fun and relaxed conversation. The Chef for the Village also put on a special lunch just for us and it was delicious at a very reasonable price too! The residents must have enjoyed the Day as we were asked to come back and play for them again - soon!A big thank you to Diane Lyons for organizing the event and to Committee Members, Delyse Whorwood, Margaret Black and Dennis Lyons and Laurie Conder for helping with the logistics for the day.

Jan and Kevin Johnston came from Algies Bay to play for us. They played for 45 minutes and got the audience singing and dancing to their music.
