Celebrating the Club's 21st Birthday Party - October 1998

Some pictorial memories of an extra special Club Night in October 1998 to celebrate the Club's 21st Birthday. There were some rather special guests in the audience that night including amongst others:

Peter Torckler - Founding Member and Life Member
John Bult - President of the Creative Keyboard Club of Browns Bay (now deceased)
George Watt - President of the Club and a Life Member
Laurel Jonkers - Founding Member and Life Member
Roger Smith - Musical Instruments Distributor
Darren Smith - Musical Instruments Distributor (now with MusicWorks HQ)

The Club had just recently acquired its current organ, a Technics GA3 and which can be seen in some of the shots as can a Technics ensemble piano which Darren Smith would have kindly brought along for the occasion.
