Premier's Flood Relief Appeal

It seems like a long time since the The Queensland Floods fundraiser but the memories are lingering and can be revived by viewing the slideshow. It was a very successful event raising $893.10. Sincerest thanks to all the participants who made the evening so memorable. There was laughter, merry making, music and much more.

Thank you to Baker's Delight for providing the intermission munchies, Ross Browne for his puppeteering, the beautiful Bay Boot Scooters for their lively stepping, Bill Carney and Warren Sinclair for their poetry, the Carey Bay Naval Band for their bravery, Sharon Ellam for hokey poking, Russ Redford for his amazing harmonica skills and all the locals for being there. 

The Grand finale- a fun Hokey Pokey

The Carey Bay Navel band

 

A night out, a good cause and some great entertainment

...what more could you ask for on Saturday 30th April between 7-10pm.

The Music Hall Variety Night for the Premiers Disaster Relief Appeal is almost upon us.

All proceeds from the night will go towards the appeal.

The line-up is confirmed, the program in place all that is needed is some happy-go-lucky folk to come along and join in.

You will be welcomed by roving minstrels as you settle in to your seating, you'll be amazed at the adventures Bill Carney-Larrikin Poet has recently endured in the Barrington Wilderness. Ross Browne's unique style of puppetry will have you perplexed but pleased and then the toes will start tapping as the urge to take to the floor is controlled by the Bay Bootscooters. The adrenaline will continue to flow as Russ Redford harnesses his  harmonica to heavenly tunes. A few laughs will be on the cards with the Carey Bay Navel Band's inaugural performance and there's more...but you'll have to come along to experience it.

There are still places available give Warren a ring on 4959 4991 or on his mobile 0412 159 701.
