- 6Sunday Dec. 18th as the Children's Carol Service at the Welfare Hall, Mick Mason was the Organist for the service and he told me that to accommodate the number of children on stage he had to play the Christie with only the centre section of the covers removed. I am sure that the conditions were not ideal for Mick, but knowing him he would overcome the difficulty. ********************* Tuesday Dec. 20th The Welfare Committee entertained its Senior Citizens to a tea with professional entertainment including our Vice President Geoff Stephenson playing the Christie. I also understand that free drinks were on hand. 3 or 4 of us were there in the morning to help get the Christie ready and we also gave assistance in decorating the stage. When we left the tables had been laid and with the decorations up it really looked fantastic, to cater for approx. 700. Congratulations to the Welfare Committee, it is heart warming to know that at least some people care for the Senior Citizens. ********************* Thursday Dec. 22nd. The Harworth branch of the Aged Concern also entertained its Senior Citizens to tea with entertainment following, which included items from members of the local Church Choir and Concert Party, Mrs Gear singer, and Chris Barber accompanied. He also gave solo items, which included Carols and a Blackpool type sing song. ********************* By and large Harworth has been full of activity prior to Christmas and I think that the organisers should be thanked for all the efforts that had been put in to make these undertakings so successful. Thanks to each and every one of you. Ed. ********************* Sunday Dec. 18th. We witnessed a very fine performance on the
Conacher Organ of the Scala Cinema Rotherham by our good friend John Mann. John said that it was his first time of playing a Conacher Organ. No doubt that he will be invited to entertain again, if so, don't miss it. ********************* Saturday Dec. 17th. Our President Arnold Loxam gave a Christmas
Concert at "Branksome", Litchfield Lane, Mansfield. Our members who attended reported that they had a most enjoyable evening. ********************* Christmas and New Year greetings have been received from other Organ societies which of course includes all our members, and many kind remarks from visitors to our Christmas Concert. *********************
