Ukuleles Canberra

Well, we currently have 18 expressions of interest in some sort of ukulele community in Canberra

I was thinking we should organise a meeting some time soon, while post-folk festival enthusiasm is still at healthy levels.

My thinking on a venue etc is:

1. a venue/space suitable for at least 25 people would be good, ie allow for few extras
2. a Tue, Wed or Thu night
3. a 1930 start (perhaps optional light meal beforehand for those who can make it)
4. 2 hours would suffice for a 1st mtg, even with a bit of ukulele playing time
5. venue cost
   - hopefully no more than about $50
   - we can probably get those who attend to chip in say $5 each if need be
   - some commercial clubs may consider letting us use a room for free if some of us get together for a light meal beforehand.

1. Introductions, 'show and tell', and burning ukulele questions
2. Any suggestions re the agenda
3. Activities for our group/club/society? 'Reason for being'?
4. Name by which we will be known?
5. Attracting others to join in?
6. If and when to formally establish our group/club/society?
7. Any other business?
8. Date/time/place for next meeting?
