Val de Pop


Our first event of the new season was held at the Val de Pop restaurant in Lliber on Wednesday 20 Sep. The lunch was a great success and and 36 of our members turned up for the occasion. The event was organised by our new entertainments member Eunice Collins, and Ann Weskett assisted Eunice with the raffle. Our thanks go to them both.
We now look forward to the trip to Mallorca and to the Music Night announced on the previous post.

We are delighted to announce a John Deacon Music Night, to be held at the Restaurante Pedramala II (on the Benitachell to Teulada Road) on Friday 27th October 2006 (the restaurant is under new management).

If you have not been to one of John's presentations before, we can assure you it is an experience not to be missed. Many of you will know that John spent his career in the international record business (EMI Music & Philips Classics) between which he founded Conifer Records, his own successful classical music distribution company and award-winning label. He is known to be an enthusiastic expert in the field of classical music, especially opera and vocal, and he is one of the few westerners who has a deep knowledge of Arab music. His presentations are conducted in wonderful sound (ATC speakers) supported by equipment of the highest technical quality. The music he presents becomes an entertainment covering a wide range from music hall to opera via comedy and orchestral. A donation from this function will be made to the Musicians Benevolent Fund.

The presentation will be in two halves with a hot buffet supper served in the interval. A half bottle of wine and water is included in the price of €22 per person. Members and their guests are asked to arrive at 19:00h for a prompt start to the presentation at 1900h we are expecting a good turnout please book nearly for this event by contacting your committee member or Eunice Stanford on 96 579 1680 or reply to ddecker01@gmail.com.
