It’s been a long, continuing slog over the Civic Hall, over so many years and we thought we deserved a little fun! So we are having a Garden Party at my old brewery in Buninyong on Sunday 5 November, 2 – 5pm. Grammar Saxophone Ensemble and Ballarat Ukulele Kollective duo are playing, and at the moment the garden is looking rather gorgeous.

As with the 61st Anniversary in August, this is a chance to again meet and thank our many supporters. It’s free, and there’s prizes for the best 1950s costumes. Our Mayor Samantha McIntosh has agreed to be the judge. Of course, there’s no obligation to dress up. Another prize will go to the best comment or recollection of the year 1956 – the year the Civic Hall was built.

If you’d like to contribute a plate to share, we’d be grateful, or just come! Tea, coffee etc will be provided. The Brewery is an indoor/outdoor venue, in case of poor weather.
