Care & Craft Concert 26th November 2010

When Daphne Markwick, Supervisor for the local wing of The Care & Craft Centres of New Zealand Trust, asked if we could entertain their members for their Xmas Party we were very pleased to accept. The members of the Care & Craft Group meet at The Lady Allum Retirement Home in Milford. Peter Brophy, Peter Jackson, Roy Steen and Gordon Sutherland were the contributors for the event with lots of Christmas carols sung and seasonal songs played to the delight of the Care & Craft members. We were kindly invited to share lunch with the Group after the Concert which lasted about 75 minutes.

Prescott Club 24th November 2010

It was the Club's pleasure to play for the Prescott Club at St Joseph's Church Hall, Takapuna for an hour as a pre-luncheon concert. Members playing were Denise Gunson, John Beales, Gordon Sutherland and the MC was Peter Brophy. We were joined by Chris Larking. It is so wonderful that professional musicians like Denise and Chris are prepared to take time out of their busy schedules to participate in our Community Music Programme.
