' What a great evening ' Our sister group renamed ' More Than Just A Choir ' on the night marked their 5th anniversary with a Celebration Dinner at The Rest Hotel in Kenton. David and Emma did a wonderful job arranging the evening.

Everyone dressed up for the occasion. The women look quite beautiful and the men very dapper in their smart gear.

We sat down to a superb meal. Waited on in fact, not the usual buffet as one would expect. It was all washed down with jollity and laughter.

Debbie Dye came along to take professional pictures of the event. So at some stage we hope to see these on the ' More Than Just A Choir ' website.

But just to give you a taste of the event a couple of pictures of us enjoying the evening.

Pip, Georgie and Hedi from the band' Tir Eolas ' surprised us with some live music. They gave it their all. The audience showed their appreciation with wild applause.

Janet was truly taken aback when David announced that we had a card and gift for her. The card and gift was to thank her for being one of the founder members of both ' The Choir ' and ' Tog '. Nicola made the enormous card. It was signed by members of both groups. Hansa made the rug and the small card attached was hand printed by Hamida. Marilyn and her team made some jewellery Nicola, Hansa and Marilyn were called on the make the presentation.

Nicola's beautifully Hand Designed and Painted Card.

The Hand Made Rag Rug. Painstakingly, but lovingly made by Hansa.

The Jewellery made by Marilyn & Liz. The Hand Printed Card by Hamida.

Well done to all those who made these wonderful gifts. I am sure Janet was overwhelmed. All the colours used to create these items represent her character.
