Are you a local artist? Come and join in our annual Winter Arts Exhibition on the weekend of 16-18 August.

You can find out all the details and book in here.

The event includes our Opening Night from 5-7pm on Friday 16 August where our whole community is invited to come along and appreciate the local talent! We’ll have drinks and finger food. It’ll be fun.

Then on Saturday and Sunday the exhibition will also be open from 10am-4pm for anyone to drop in.

We hope to see you there!

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.
