COLIN Bell, who used to play the piano in Hollywood and knew many famous people there, entertained us most enjoyably on keyboard and with anecdotes. We sang along to a selection of popular songs. We had a good three-course supper with wine, in a hall decorated with seasonal flowers and foliage by member Linda Williams.

The competition, for something purple, was won by Diane Jones with a ruffled cushion that she had knitted.
