Coffee Day at Okura Country Estate 19th January 2016

What a wonderful day of music! Over 30 members turned-out on this gorgeous summers day in this magnificent private country estate to enjoy some great music, great food and tremendous camaraderie. We are very grateful to our host, Dave Winslade, for making these wonderful facilities available to us as he has done for several years now.
A big thank you to Diane Lyons for organizing the day together with Delyse Whorwood and various members who helped on kitchen duties - Marlene Bakolovich in particular.
It is great when members will travel from New Plymouth and Algies Bay just to be with us for the day and share their musical talent.
