Club Night 5th March 2024

 At the start of the evening we held our AGM to formally setup the Committee for the coming year and to reflect upon the great events and happenings for the Club last year.

After the raffle and a refreshments break, we were entertained by our guest artist, Jeanette Harding, who has been a lifetime professional musician and came up from New Plymoutht to play for us. Jeanette uses a Korg Pa4X arranger keyboard with vocals added and wow can Jeanette make the instrument 'talk'. A great selection of songs and gentres all flawlessly executed to our delight.

Arrival music was provided by Warren Levick on the Club's Yamaha Clavinova CVP-809 ensemble digital piano. Very smooth and enjoyable too, so thank you Warren.

Coffee Day at Okura Country Estate

 What a great day out at this lovely country estate just north of Albany, Auckland. Our host, Dave Winslade, kindly shared the estate's beautiful community hall and resplendant surroundings. The weather was superb as well to enhance the great music that was played. A shared lunch was very enjoyable also.

For our piano players, Gordon Sutherland, borrowed a Korg EX20 ensemble 88-note weighted piano. The piano was kindly loaned to the Club for the day by Music Planet of 128 Wairau Road, North Shore. What a great keyboard and well enjoyed by our piano players on the day.

A big thank you to Dave Winslade for making the community hall available to our Club for the day. This has been a tradition stretching back some 10 years! Thanks also to Karen Steen for providing the kitchen things and all those that helped on the day to set up the lunch table.
