"After the last few years it’s great to see our hall full again for a wonderful community event,” she said.

"After our Christmas Day event this is the biggest event that we have held since the coronavirus appeared.

"Our craft group pulled out all of the stops to decorate the hall in red, white, and blue and everyone who came dressed in their best clothes and really made an effort.

"It was such a great day with entertainment, dancing, and food, and it was wonderful to see the Grey Panthers having such great fun.”
