What is the key to friendship?

Add your thoughts to a key tag on our fence this week.

We love quirky community art experiences … and creating opportunities for casual community interactions.

ACC is a fabulous location for your child’s next birthday 🎂 party.

🎈You can hire our main room and new undercover deck for 4 hours on a Sunday morning or afternoon and also utilise our kitchen facilities and catering equipment - a great way to avoid cleaning your own house/apartment and host a super low stress party!

We have cute tables and stools that accommodate 12 little ones seated. The space is suitable for up to 30 guests.

You can find all the details and dates available here.

We always love a primary school fair. How exciting (a what a great sign!). Add this to your diary!

Join Clare on Monday afternoons from 1-3pm or on Thursday evenings from 6.30-8.30pm … and explore your inner artist in a fun, relaxed and supportive small-group setting.

Clare’s classes run for two hours weekly over an 8 week term. The fee is $320.

Class dates are:

• Monday 29th April - 17th June

• Thursday 2nd May - 20th June

Contact Clare to enrol online at swirlart.com.au or you can give her a call to find out more etc., 0423453160.

What a lovely, connected community we live in!

Another fabulous year of carol singing last night - Jan (our unflagging and entertaining host) and Jan (on piano for the first time) led a packed out Alphington Bowls Club audience through nearly every song in the ACC songbook once again. You never miss out on your favourite carol at this event - because they all get sung 🎵.

And it was just lovely to hear our local choir The Alphingtones perform. They sounded gorgeous.

Thanks David for your bagpiping … and Anne - always a powerhouse behind the scenes. And Mish for her running around! And Geoff (secret Santa business).

And everyone who comes along every year and contributes by leading a carol etc.

These carols have been running for around 40 years … and have been hosted at the Scout Hall, in the outdoor amphitheatre at Kate’s house (1 View Street) and now at Alphington Bowls Club. Last night I heard someone say they typed up the original songbook! Amazing.

And we raised about $275 through our gold coin donations. This year we’ll support some people doing it tough through The Salvos.

Merry Christmas.
