If you missed out last Friday, head to Bennetts Beach again this Friday 20 January between 8am and 2pm for a delicious sangar and ice cold drink.

They’re holding their first meeting of 2017 on Thursday 19 January at 10am in the Old Library Building on the corner of Booner Street and Tulao Street, Hawks Nest. The Festival, now in its second year, will be held over the weekend of 7 to 9 April. This year’s theme is nautical and will celebrate senior citizens and their contribution to the community.

It is organised with the valued assistance of the Myall Coast Entertainers, Myall U3A, Hawks Nest Golf Club, Great Lakes Council and a supporting cast of tireless, enthusiastic volunteers.
