Club Year End Party on 24th November 2017

The Club's Year End Party was held in the lush surroundings of Fairview Lifestyle Village's main lounge. We started at 2.30 pm and members played for two hours on the grand piano and on their keyboards. After the Fairview Happy Hour when their raffle was drawn Len Hancy (vocals) and Bennie Gunn (keyboard) gave us a mini-concert of jazz standards - very nice guys!

After a delicious dinner of Fish and Chips (it was Friday night!) with salmon and a side-salad we were set-up for our evening dance band - Jan and Kevin Johnston. Jan and Kevin were joined for some of the numbers impromptu by Len Hancy on vocals. Great stuff guys!

All in all, a wonderful Year End function to cap-off a great year of events and music put on by the Club.

We still have our Club Night on 5th December 2017 with some great artists lined-up as well as the famous year end Christmas Hamper Raffle.

A big thank you to Diane Lyons for organizing the Year End Party in conjunction with the Management of Fairview Lifestyle Village. Thanks also to our Secretary, Delyse Whorwood, and Margaret Black for manning our Raffle and Information Desk - a very selfless task all afternoon  whilst everybody else were enjoying themselves so thank you so much - very much appreciated.
