Year End Party at Fairview Lifestyle Village

To celebrate a great year of music and fun, The North Shore Music and Keyboard Club held its Year End Party as the guests of the lovely Fairview Lifestyle Village. We gathered from 2.30 pm in the master lounge of the Village and members played until 6 pm which included a 4.30 - 6.00 pm Happy Hour! Some great playing on the Village's grand piano and on the members' keyboards brought in for the occasion.

We had a record number of attendees (42) for the Christmas Ham Dinner and Chocolate Cake Dessert which kept us busy until 7.15 pm whence our host for the day, Diane Lyons, drew the raffle with four lovely prizes on offer. It was then time for our Band to fire up and get the feet moving and tapping on the dance floor to a theme of latin based favourites. Thank you Jan and Kevin Johnston for once again acting as our Band for the Year End function and also, to our host at Fairview, Len Hancy, who added spice to the music with great vocals.

A big thank you to Diane Lyons who kindly acted at MC for the day and Len Hancy for acting as MC for after dinner activities. As always, a big thank you to our Raffle Desk team which consisted of Kay and Russell Boyes and Dale Everiss - all looking resplendent in their festive season clothes. Thanks also to Patrick McMillan for helping with the set-up given our President, Gordon Sutherland, was somewhat indisposed on the day.

So, a great year of activities for the Club is drawing to a close with just our final December Club Night to go.
