AGM and Jazz Night at the 'Fleur de Lys'

A great time was has by one and all at our combined Annual General Meeting and Jazz night held at the 'Fleur de Lys', Norton St Philip on April 8th.

It's not very often one thinks of having a good time at an AGM but the combination of free food, drink and jazz certainly did the trick! The (slightly) more formal matters of approving the minutes from last year and receiving the Chairman and Treasurer's reports were efficiently dispatched, as was the election of our new committee, clearing the way for wine, beer, chips and sandwiches to the accompanyment of Nick Sorensen and John Law on sax and keyboard. Way to go!

Performed at the Palairet Hall, 24-27 November 2010
