The annual themed evening for our meeting in February was ‘The 1920’s’. On arrival in the meeting room everyone was given either a cocktail, Prosecco or non-alcoholic drink before finding a seat at the tables. Most of the Committee had been earlier in the day and decorated the room with posters, record covers, violin cases and decorated the tables in red, white and black, with candles in the centre.The evening was opened by Lucy as Al Capone’s Moll, followed by some songs from a song sheet instead of Jerusalem. The canapés were placed on each table and the evening’s entertainment began with Barbara Askew giving the meeting her usual very informative educational take on the theme, including the Suffragettes, Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter discovering Tutankhamen’s tomb and prohibition. After that the entertainment by the duo ‘Change for Two Tenners’ began. Alan and Barry, one at the keyboard and one singing, were excellent company and we enjoyed their music for over an hour. The dessert canapés were served, along with tea, coffee and chocolates. After dessert, for those who felt the need, no doubt with a little help from the Prosecco and cocktails previously consumed, carried on the evening by dancing to the CD music from the era, put on after the singing duo had left. Everyone seemed to enjoy the evening, the question is, what do we do next year? A selection of the minutes read by Helen Mayfield-Ella. High Levels secretary. 18/03/2015
