G'day Murray'

Bush Ball (unfortunately clashing with St. Albans Festival)

The Bush Ball is the name we have used for the past 2 years for what started as the Heritage Ball (back in NSW Heritage Week, 1979). The new name emphasise that we have moved it to a beaut country hall (the Soldiers' Memorial Hall, Bundanoon)and we try to organise some other distractions to make a weekend of it.

The date is usually the opening weekend of Heritage Week - generally the Anzac Day weekend (more clashes). I have been floating a proposal around the Bush Music Club and the Sydney Folk Page to create a Folk Dates/Events Register to minimise clashes. It's a great - it only needs: A/ Someone silly enough to agree to do the work B/ Someone to persuade folkies to plan ahead C/ Someone to convince folkies that they should tell people what (and when) they are planning D/ Someone to host it on a prominent site and E/ Someone to get folkies to look at it before deciding on dates for events!

Yeah, well it looked like a good idea.
