A Great Gala Opening
What a lovely evening for our Gala Opening. Flox spoke of her work and donated a stunning framed hand-cut stencil and a Blunt umbrella for our auction.
Our Chairman Stuart Christie farewelled our hard working inagural trustee Jane Parson and treasurer of 9 years Peter Hogg.
Music was by Francie Lidgard. The elderly musos could not resist a song along at the end.
Thanks to Flox, our sponsors, Hot Waves Cafe and all those who attended
