NAGAMBIE'S Kelvingrove Village residents hosted a Mother's Day themed afternoon tea dance on Tuesday last week for residents and guests.

Close to 40 attended the successful social gathering led by well–known local entertainer and singer Noel Pearson.

The ladies were presented with a white flower to pin on their lapels at the start of the afternoon.

The Village hall was attractively laid out with long gaily decorated dining tables and floral centrepieces and an afternoon table laden with many delicious treats.

Noel Pearson entertained the Mother's Day afternoon guests with his 1950–2000s popular music style and provided suitable music for some novelty segments during the afternoon that allowed the single folk without a partner some fun time taking part in the bottle money throw, the heads and tails competition and the dance playing card game.

This gave them some fun and merriment.

Members of the Nagambie senior citizens line dancing group enjoyed doing boot scooting dance style sequences suitable for the tea dance guests to enjoy and spectators to watch during the afternoon.

A Mother's Day cake took pride of place before the afternoon tea and was jointly cut by village resident ladies who have lived in Kelvin Grove for 10–20 plus years.

Then a scrumptious afternoon tea was enjoyed by all.

Some lucky door prizes and a Mother's Day raffle saw some happy winners take home some nice prizes.

Thanks was extended to entertainer Noel Pearson, the line dance group, volunteer workers, donors of prizes, buttonhole flowers, the delicious variety of afternoon tea delights and to those who organised the event with me.

All those who attended the afternoon tea dance were very happy with the successful afternoon and would happily come again to join the residents for another social time.

The next event will be a mid–winter fun social time where members of the Seymour Old Time Dance group are coming along to conduct some old time dance segments and there will be some good old fashioned Christmas fun novelty segments as well.

A finger food party tea will be provided by village social funds and plum pudding and pavlovas will be for dessert – BYO drinks, tea and coffee available.

Residents are able to invite friends and family to come along – RSVP by June 28 to Di Grant on 5794 1720.
