Coming up on the weekend … don’t forget! A great Mothers Day experience. Yummy food supporting a fabulous group of women who do so much for our local community.

We always love a primary school fair. How exciting (a what a great sign!). Add this to your diary!

What a lovely, connected community we live in!

Another fabulous year of carol singing last night - Jan (our unflagging and entertaining host) and Jan (on piano for the first time) led a packed out Alphington Bowls Club audience through nearly every song in the ACC songbook once again. You never miss out on your favourite carol at this event - because they all get sung 🎵.

And it was just lovely to hear our local choir The Alphingtones perform. They sounded gorgeous.

Thanks David for your bagpiping … and Anne - always a powerhouse behind the scenes. And Mish for her running around! And Geoff (secret Santa business).

And everyone who comes along every year and contributes by leading a carol etc.

These carols have been running for around 40 years … and have been hosted at the Scout Hall, in the outdoor amphitheatre at Kate’s house (1 View Street) and now at Alphington Bowls Club. Last night I heard someone say they typed up the original songbook! Amazing.

And we raised about $275 through our gold coin donations. This year we’ll support some people doing it tough through The Salvos.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks everyone who came along! Thanks everyone who helped out!

It was a fabulous end to the year for us - glorious weather, amazing company and yummy food.

Sunday 7pm. Alphington Bowls Club. Come along and sing all your favourite Christmas songs.
