Club Night 6th February 2018

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.
