Sorry people, council, after telling us we could, has now told us we cannot use the Kincumba Mnt Kiosk for now so we will be holding this event at the Hardys Bay Club. Finger crossed CCC will return the Kiosk to functioning condition soon so we can return there for our March 12th event.
Doors open at 12.00pm and music starts at 1pm.
You need to be double vaxed, QR in and have your certificate handy. Sorry but we have to do this so that the club can stay open without being fined.
So bring your certificate, a smile and then everyone can have a great afternoon full of music, food and drinks.
Unfortunately there is to be no singing or dancing indoors except for the musicians, but outside we can dance to our hearts content.
Whilst inside you must wear a mask unless you are eating or drinking.
Tickets can be bought at the front door on the day.
