What a lovely evening for the Retro Rock Night at the Museum last Saturday, the embankment in front of the Museum and the road below made a perfect amphitheatre and it was lovely to see people of all ages gathered, (some in retro clothing) enjoying the local bands as they played throughout the evening. It was a lovely, fun atmosphere for Jess Hewitson, Jenny Ensor and me, as we served up Hot Dogs, chips and drinks. Our “Towing & supplies team” of Basil Ensor and Bruce Borrell ensured we had the van parked in prime position, thanks everyone, your time and effort is really appreciated.
An application has been received from Gilly Oppenheim & Robin Peterson to become a member of our club.
