The President Beth Irwin BEM welcomed everyone to the evening. A special welcome was made to guest Dr Ruth Carroll who is the executive representative for the Ranfurly area. Daphne Watt completed some business and afterwards a beautiful carvery was enjoyed by all.
The entertainment was provided by George accompanied by Adrian who kept members entertained all night with his jokes and a sing along. He was very impressed with the singing of the ladies. Daphne Wylie entertained with a solo verse. After a quick demonstration by George several ladies became experts on the drum and tambourine. Is a percussion band in the pipeline for the members!
