The Drunken Uncle band (Max, Bruce, Digby, Terry, Eddie, John and Doug), most of whom hail  from Dorrigo, provided a toe-tapping mix of folk, blues and country music following the two-course meal.

Ten-year-old Ethan Page, who came along last year to earn his Cub Scouts community service badge, was there again this year serving and clearing plates just because he enjoys it.

"They all love him," publicity officer Jodie Glover said.

Ethan was assisted by ten Lions club members, including catering whizz John Molloy, the driving force behind the event.
