What a fine body of men, waiting to 'entertain' the senior citizens. Bit like taking coals to Newcastle - the elderly entertaining the slightly more elderly. In fact if it wasn't for the penguin suits I'm not sure we would be able to tell the difference.
A very good barber shop quartet, 'Special Blend' started us off followed by 'Voice Versa' who gave us some amusing and seasonal poems and stories. Worryingly, for the Lions male voice choir, both groups were very professional and slick and were appreciated by the audience.
Even more worryingly they were followed by Hayley Rice who sang beautifully. Apparently she made the final selection for the TV programme X-factor. No pressure then!!
As usual these events wouldn't work or be as smooth without the help of the ladies. The men just wouldn't be as organised or efficient besides which they had their minds focussed on their musical extravaganza.
Just too good a picture to leave out. Mike's finishing his cup of tea before turning round and doing his warm up act. Few people are aware that he is a member of the magic circle or is it the magic roundabout - I always get mixed up. It has to be reported at this stage that the Lions performance didn't go quite as well as expected. Marion, on the piano, couldn't keep up with the pace set by the choir and at one point the song sounded more like a round with everybody singing different parts. It's a good job that most of the audience had turned down their hearing aids.
