'October is going to be a busy month'

29/9/2024

October is going to be a busy month for the Ukes4Fun group. On 6th October a dozen or so players will travel by train to Federation Square to join other players around Victoria, taking part in the Ukulele Extravaganza at the Seniors Week Festival. The following weekend a few of the group will be attending the Whittlesea Jamming event. A couple of our members attended in 2023 and recommended this event.

The Ukulele group will also be playing at the Be Connected luncheon on 16th October.
