This year we have welcomed five new members Joan Badrock, Julie Hooper, Carole Ruta, Chris Dunster and Suzanne Berry to our Singing for Fun group. We hope you all enjoy singing with us and look forward to getting to know you all.
 
We are fortunate that our three singing leaders Faith Hicks, Brian Greed and Margaret Merriman are full of enthusiasm for 2019.  Faith is revisiting many of the songs we have not sung for several months, while Brian and Margaret both have a new challenge for us with a new song on the horizon.

We are grateful that our pianist Gwen Barnes is providing accompaniment on the piano to our three leaders.
    
During January we were saddened to learn that one of our valued members Elsbeth Shaw had passed away. Elsbeth was a great friend to several of our members and will be remembered for her cheery personality and excellent company as well as her singing.

Thank you to Dorothy Webber for negotiating that our members can use the chairs and tables near the kitchen for morning tea every time we meet. 

The next meeting of Singing for Fun will be on Thursday 7 March 2019 at 10am in the U3A Room at the Seniors Complex.

Early in December we celebrated the end of the year with a concert at Cooinda. This concert was slightly longer than what was presented at the Meet and Mingle day in November and included some Christmas favourites.  From the applause received the concert appeared to be enjoyed by the Cooinda residents.

Afterwards several members of the Singing for Fun group went to the Golf Club for their end of year lunch.

Singing for Fun in 2019 will start on Thursday 7 February at 10am in the U3A room at the seniors complex. We have had good numbers at our enrolment days and look forward to seeing everyone at our first session.
