Entertainer Ricky Desmond, who has filled the slot for many years, is having to step down and the club is seeking a musician to step into his shoes.
Bob Hamblyn, event manager and Rotarian, said, “For countless years, Ricky has given up his Christmas Day as our resident musician.

In seeking a successor, the club is ideally hoping for a musician who can preferably make the party an annual commitment, in return for a donation to a favoured charity or a modest fee. They would also need to have their own PA system.
Any entertainer interested should contact Bob Hamblyn by email at [email protected] or call 01323 725462.
