Club Night 7th October 2025

What a wonderful night of music! The Club is blessed with some wonderful musicians, and they demonstrated their talent by playing some delightful music for us this evening. To start the evening, instead of the usual arrival music, we had a video of one of our previous guest artists, Dean Tremlett (bass) and Darin Smith (piano) who gave a concert for us back in September 2023. Great to watch their concert again.

In the main body of the evening, we were entertained by Mary Elvin who played a mix of classical and popular music - very well-done Mary. Next up we had Hana and mum, Yuko Tani, playing for 30 minutes with a mixture of solo pieces and duets. Wonderful music and Hana surely showed her World class talent. They played a mixture of classical (Beethoven) through popular music such as Bohemian Rhapsody and all most enjoyable.

After a delicious supper kindly supplied by our Catering Manager, Jan Ellin, we were entertained by our guest artist for the evening. Patrick McMillan. Patrick made good use of our Yamana Clavinova CVP-809 ensemble piano with some rhythms used as background to some pieces. A highlight was a classical organ piece by Beethoven - very powerful and superbly executed. Thanks for a great concert, Patrick.

This was our last event at the Takapuna Bowling Club that we have had rooms at for over 17 years. The Bowling Club has been very good to us over the years but with some of our members advancing in years, climbing the stairs was becoming problematic. Our new home from November 2025 onwards will be Knightsbridge Village, Windsor Park. They have allocated The Chelsea Room for our Club Rooms, and we are much looking forward to our new musical adventures there.
