under Other Documents in Downloads. This update aims to give all performers a chance
to play, within guidelines set by the committee to facilitate the smooth running of our concert nights.
Our Logo Design Winner
The winner of the competition to design our new logo is Nita McGauran. A graphic designer based in Wangaratta, Australia.
She has previously been employed in the local printing industry, but now runs her own freelance business
so she can work around her 2 young children.
She found the Club’s competition on a Google search – These are her words:
“I’m always on the lookout for design contests, as I enjoy the freedom of designing without having to follow a strict brief. A winning logo is a great addition to my portfolio, but it is also a pleasure to design for small local clubs who generally don’t have the resources to employ a professional designer – I think they still deserve a great logo!
Although I am not musical myself, I still have a great appreciation of all types of music, including Folk – So I am very pleased that my design was chosen to represent the Levin Folk Music Club.
Thanks to all the members who voted!”
May Music Month 2016
Exciting Stuff
Invitation to Members
Well, we have a great opportunity to showcase the musicians from our club on Saturday 28th May for May Music Month, organised by Kings Sound Centre, Levin.
My reason for writing is that the Folk Club is organising four hours of live music outside Caffeinate at the very top of Queen Street (by the Traffic lights and opposite the Warehouse) on Saturday 28th May from 10:00 – 14:00 hrs and I am on the scout for volunteers to play.
We had a great time last year and it’s a good opportunity to get together as musicians as well as promote our folk club locally.
If you would be interested in playing (probably be a minimum of 2-3 songs, depending on how many people are interested) please can you let me know by Sunday 15th May, to give me time to organise the order of play and get back to you with you with a guide on timings etc. We will have the club sound system on hand to plug in, so no need to bring anything except yourselves, your voices and your instruments.
Dale is hosting a relaxed music evening and shared dinner at her Ohau property for those who wish to carry on with Saturday’s fun – further details to come later.
