24th - Local folk singer Talis is coming to do a couple of sets with her voice and guitar. She specialises in yarny numbers, we are hoping for the catchy sing-a-long of "Yarn Chicken," which will chime with many of us! Mystery Balls are back!

The Fuchsia Fairies print auction winner will be announced. Grand raffle draw will take place.
