On 14 December, a violent attack at Bondi Beach resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries, including children.  The loss of life and the impact on families and friends and indeed our society is appalling and extremely difficult for our society to comprehend. We extend our thoughts and prayers to the families, friends, and indeed all who are now grieving this unimaginable event and the senseless loss of lives. 

We have a New Name and a New Venue, and we will be gathering on

07 September to enjoy singing; with Bob leading us on guitar as always!

We will continue to meet on the 1st Sunday of each month thereafter!
