What are they all looking at? Well after a typical French meal the
evening
continued with a String Trio playing music made popular by
Stephan Grappelli,

After the Interval the band played different variations using their
individual expertise. This included solos & duals.A jolly good eveng's entertainment. Thanks to the Social Committee headed by Babara & David Arnold for organising it.
If you attended the evening with a bright red coat, please see if it fits properly as someone in error took Pauline Bowen's longer sleeved, shorter bodied & slightly brighter one!
She has yours.
