Dinkum Bullsheet ~ August 2011
Geoffrey's what's on and been on Newsletter
Australian poetry, music and heritage

This Bullsheet is being sent to a list of people who have shown an interest in bush poetry or local (Bendigo Goldfields Bush Poetry) BGBP events or Australian music etc.

What’s been
June-- -I missed Grenfell 's Lawson Festival this year, after deciding to stay home and work, then
 I was asked to go to Perisher for the Snowy festival, Well, I couldn’t say no could I ;.I had a blast.  
Great audiences, lots of fantastic talent, and even managed to get a bit of skiing in, thought I’m a wee bit rusty.

 Sunday 26 JUNE   Aussie entertainment
Our regular session at the Newmarket went very well. A small audience, but one of the best sessions we’ve had. We didn’t use the stage, so it was much more an informal setup and we were delighted to have the pleasure of the company of Stephen Whiteside.  Julie, a newcomer performed again  and her lovely daughter Rebecca performed for the first time.
