Well unfortunately I, like a few others was unable to attend our Christmas Party on Thursday night, but I hear all went well with plenty of regulars and some new faces…

Lots of singing as well I hear…

I just would like to say a few Thank you's to …firstly the Sole Bay Jazz Band and friends who turn up every Thursday Evening to provide us all with talented live music… We are so lucky to have live music so close to home with just the raffle ticket to pay for! Such talent, and of course to Alan who organises it all, you are all great.

Speaking of the raffle… Keith and Sheila thank you from everybody for all your hard work with the raffle and the  books you keep in order, I have no idea why a few years ago you decided that I could help with a raffle to aid the band, but I am so glad you did, I thank you on a personal level for always making sure I have gifts, from you… you have no need to as I love meeting all the fans…it is  joy to be part of the 'Jazz' family, but I know you look after me. I do hope we can keep it all going in the future.

A special thank you to Tim as well for treating me out to our lovely meals …Smile!!!!you have become such a good friend.

Thanking as well Jazz Janet for helping out when I am not well enough, and of course  to our dear 'Boys' and Jan who fold the tickets every week…

To everyone at the Thursday nights gigs, I wish you all a Merry (not too merry) Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year…

I look forward to seeing you in the New Year, and once again thank you to everyone who helps to make the friendly place it is. of course to Jon and Marilyn for providing the venue…and our Heidi with the smile!!
