2025 End of Year Christmas BBQ

7 December 2025

The magic of Christmas is in the air. Join us for a festive evening of food, music, and fellowship!

Up & Down, High & Low: Let’s see where the music goes….. Expect creativity and inspiration as our talented members bring this theme to life!

Whether it be the high road that takes you to the lowlands, or marching up the hill with 10,000 men, or a cruise through Downtown, recall the night, we packed up our troubles and drove old Dixie down, yes, we had high hopes, but we were tangled up in blue waiting for the sun to go down.

We look forward to hearing the variety of the performers embroider on the theme.

The diversity is always inspiring; our members are a huge source of talent and entertainment. Look forward to hearing all the acts bringing us their creativeness.
