What a great day! Despite gloomy weather forecasts, the day was sunny and warm and without rain. Lots of good music and good vitals and of course lots to talk about from the holiday break. A big thank you to Dave Winslade for making the lovely Community Hall available to us together with his Yamaha Tyros 4 and speakers.

Our first event for calendar 2018 was a Club Night at our Club Rooms. Despite it being Waitangi Day, we had a good turn-out of members and were well rewarded with some great music!
Arrival music was provided by Jim Nicholson on the Clavinova. In the first-half three of our members played for us: Peter Jackson on his Yamaha PSR-S970 together with some vocal renditions; Yvonne Moller on her Korg Pa3X; and Peter Longbottom on his Korg Pa600. Thanks guys very enjoyable.
After a refreshing tea break, we were delighted to welcome back to the Club, Joe Fingers and his wife and musical partner, Jill who provided vocals to some songs - some in English and some lovely ballads sung in Mandarin. Joe played The Bowling Club's old acoustic piano together with his Yamaha PSR-S970. As always Joe and Jill were fantastic entertainment. The Club members even had the opportunity to wish Joe a Happy Birthday for the following day in the usual way!
All in all, a great start to the Club's 2018 calendar of events. A big thank you to all the helpers to make the evening go so smoothly.
