Max Stevens and David Kershaw are the Masters of Ceremonies for the Martinborough Town Hall centenary celebration. The Mayor, Adrienne Staples, and MP, John Hayes, will arrive in vintage cars to a fanfare organised by former NZSO Horn player, Ed Allen. To mark the occasion a granite plaque has been donated by Robert Milne. Mr Milne has played the bagpipes for the annual ANZAC service held at the Hall for many years. This commemorative plaque, will be unveiled by Mrs Staples and Mr Hayes. There will be tasty finger food made by Providore, liquid refreshments, entertainment from MADCAPS and background music from Shane Cater.
