Kihikihi’s ukulele club’s Irish eyes were smiling ahead of St Patrick’s Day last week.

Members Maureen and Ken Jamieson, Kahu Walker and Sally Marx were among those to join in the Irish theme for the club’s fortnightly meeting in the Anglican Church Hall on Lyon Street.

The club has enjoyed a recent resurgence of popularity, with membership rising to 30.
