Newsletter for June 2012

 Thank you everyone again for all your help with our very first ukulele festival. It was a massive success. I have so many people to thank and a list will go up shortly, however until my meeting with TCM at The Entrance I’d like to say, with out you all it would not have been possible. So my gratitude and enormous thanks goes to you all.

Events

This Sunday 10^th June at Woy Woy markets (weather permitting) we have a marquee to sell wares and goods. If you have a second hand ukulele you would like to sell here is an opportunity for you. We are also performing between 11am -1.30pm.

If the weather is inclement we will not be there (can’t get our uke’s wet) but if occasional showers perhaps, so contact me on 0412837008 if in doubt. I will also send an email if cancelled.

For those who would like to handle the stall please let me know or just would like to come down for  a set or two that’s fine.
