Some of you may remember the skits we did last year at the Cossie Club.
Well, it’s that time again and we are organizing some fun songs again for ours
this year. I am looking for some ladies and men who want to come on stage
with walking sticks & walkers and if there is someone who is game for a laugh
to come on smiling without their false teeth. We aim to have fun. And for
those who don’t participate we may ask to borrow props once we know what
they are. We aim to have fun and would love you all to come and support us
and cheer us on. Glenda

Guest Artists for November Club Day.. Jenny & Renny Hantler.
Life members of Morrinsville Country Music Club, Renny was raised in
Hawkes Bay and Jenny in Canterbury.
They met through country music, married and lived in Napier before
moving to Christchurch in the early 1980s. Renny was a member of the
well known Laredo Showband touring with Patsy Riggir.
In 1994 they moved to Hamilton with their three children and shortly
afterwards joined the Morrinsville Country Music Club.
They are both award-winners in their own right and are regularly invited
to entertain.
They have performed at the Paihia Country Rock Festival for several
years and, after much encouragement, released their own family
CD. “The Hantler Family”
It displays the talents of them all
collectively and as individuals.
Renny and Jenny’s performance
will leave you spellbound.
