Following
the adjournment of the AGM, members enjoyed a social get-together, sampling
a variety of home-cooked tea-time snacks which included mouthwatering green-chutney
sandwiches, crisp, fried bhajjias, samosas, Anglo-Indian style banana fritters,
scrumptious cookies and a decadent cheese cake.
In honour of St. Patrick's Day - and courtesy of Ian Currie who provided the keyboard accompaniament - everyone joined in an enthusiastic sing-along session which included not only Irish ballads, but a spectrum of old favourites. Then, motivated, by Ian's keyboard talents, the dance-floor beckoned and members twirled to renditions of popular jazz "standards".
Our June Newsletter will include further details of forthcoming events and photographs of the AGM. So stay tuned.
