Christmas Club Night 1st December 2015

A great way to finish up the Club's programme for 2015. Our Christmas Club Night was a real cracker thanks to our wonderful musicians that played for us. The largest audience of the year shared the evening of great music, our 11 fantastic Christmas Raffle Hampers, and a scrumptious supper with traditional mince pies etc. It was great that Santa Claus made an early sortie from Lapland to hand-out the Hampers (thank you Laurie Conder).
A big thank you to Delyse Whorwood and Diane Lyons for all the work storing and presenting the Hampers. As always, Dennis Lyons did a great job with the photos. To all our members and followers, the Committee of the North Shore Organ and Keyboard Club would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year.
