Same venue, Club Ashfield in Charlotte Street, Ashfield, beside Ashfield Railway Station ...playing starts 6.45pm to 9pm...many of us meet earlier for a meal in the Club's bistro or for socialising.
The bistro opens 5.30pm....
I mentioned a previous special rehearsal.....
On 6th March 2012 I organised for those interested in the band to attend the former Sydney Harbour ferry, the "South Steyne" moored in Darling Harbour as a restaurant..where we played and then had a meal.....
A couple of photos....
Sadly the "South Steyne" was removed from the Darling Harbour mooring, supposedly for wharf restoration and has been at a mooring in Berry's Bay for almost a year....
