In June we finally said goodbye to the old School St hall in California Gully, finalising our move to the Strath Sports Club. Here Ann, Karen and Brian sort through the junk at our final garage sale.

Daniel ran the sausage sizzle at the garage sale. Here he is showing off the wares.

The Bendigo Minibands contest was held in July. Ann and Melissa are seen here running the "front of house" desk.
