We meet in each others houses on Wednesday evenings, from 8 o'clock.

Our favourite venue is the Yarralumla Woolshed, which still smells like sheep despite being decommissioned as a shearing shed in 1965. In honour of this woolshed, we have named our group "Woolies Home Band".
The group has a reasonably wide repertoire, which we play with varying degrees of competence and enthusiasm. The tunes include the following:
