Christmas in July at Cooinda - then in October, we are off to Federation Square to join a Seniors Week performance!

The group was asked to play at the recent Cooinda Christmas in July dinner.   A small group of our players took their ukes along and entertained the residents.     It was fun.

A number of our group are taking part in the combined Ukulele group appearing at the Seniors week activity on Sunday 6 October at Federation Square.  We are waiting for details of the songs we will be playing and singing so that we can practice over the next few weeks.

Our weekly sessions have been so much fun, not only learning new songs to add to our repertoire, we are revisiting some of our basic tools to improve our rhythm, timing and strumming.
