Lovely background music and the chatter and laughter of neighbours and friends enjoying a home-made meal and a glass of wine filled the air.

The residents who did the catering ensured a pleasing selection.

Yvonne Ciapparelli had cottage pie, lasagne, garlic bread, quiche and green salad on offer.

Di Zylstra and Maureen Scholfield served savoury pancakes filled with mince or chicken and mushrooms, while Mabel Kwan prepared cheese, vegetable and chicken spring rolls. Barbara Damstra and Shirley Gooch tempted with beef mince and chicken samosas and, to end things off on a sweet note, Ruth Meredith and Val and Bill Kruger offered an array of baked goods, tarts, cakes, biscuits, shortbread and puddings.
