Vocal Workshop Review Elizabeth Ross maintained her reputation as a superb workshop presenter on 22 March at Coorparoo. The workshop was challenging, informative and fun. The exercises were excellent and often amusing and we all came away having pushed ourselves to try something new (often many times). Read all about the fun here! |

Please note, to pass the inspection you must bring (for instance) your amplifier and its plug lead (not just the lead). Venue: Coorparoo Bowls Club Date: Saturday 26 April 2025 Time: 12.00 midday to 2.00pm Come along anytime in the two-hour time slot. |
