New Club is Swinging

Formed almost a year ago, the Nelson Country and Western Club is swinging along nicely. The club meets every Sunday night in the Silver Citizens Band room in Parapara Road and anyone who would like to attend is more than welcome. You don't have to be a Johnny Cash to join - just an interest in country and western music will suffice.
