Aloha and Happy New Year to all
2016 was a huge year for the Central Coast Ukulele Club with so many highlights I don’t know where to start. Here was just a few.
In January 2016 we partied in the New Year at Wyong RSL… 100’s of us there to celebrate with great friends, good music, yummy food and terrific friendly club.
2016 February we had a brilliant time at the Blue Mountains Ukulele Festival,

2016 May – we went/performed in Hawaii for our cultural tour and met the wonderful Keale and Susan. Great teachers.. we even learn’t how to speak a little Hawaiian and dance the hula. An amazing experience and we ended up on “Entertainment Tonight” LOL!! that was so much fun… and then we circumnavigated Ohau and had a brilliant time..this was a trip we will never forget. We love Hawaii
