SIRFB FireshedChristmas in July Dinner14th July from 7pmIt's that time of the year again - the start of the Scotland Island Fire Shed Dinners was kicked off in style with our Spit Roast Feast. This dinner was huge success with over 100 attendees with 83 booking online. The next Fire Shed Dinner will be 'Christmas in July' on 14th July hosted by Nathalie Muir who will recreate the Christmas feast that she and Julian hosted at the Fire Shed on Christmas day, including a visit by that very special person. Parents are encouraged to bring a small inexpensive gift for their young children. To make the organising and catering more predictable for our hosts we are only going to accept advanced bookings for this event with a cut-off date of Sunday 8th July. Please help by registering here Fireshed Dinner - Christmas in July (you can still pay at the door with cash or EFTPOS if that's easier, but please register in advance by 8th July). If you have problems booking online you can always send us an email with your booking details to secretary@sirfb.org.au All funds raised help provide fire, medical and other emergency services to the Scotland Island community.

See BIO below for more info. "The Guitar and Voice of The Bondi Cigars bringing it back home” In a time when Blues is in great danger of being swallowed by the all-encompassing term “roots music,’ the very concept of a Blues band seems to be almost a quaint idea.
"THE SHANE PACEY TRIO… are that rare (and becoming rarer!) thing…"
A dedicated Blues band, rather than a solo star with supporting musicians…
Sun 15TH July: The FUKERS
Look out Folks!! The Big Men of Little Music are coming back to the Co-Op!!

Their last few shows here have packed the joint, so make sure to book a table early, you wouldn't want to miss out on the fun!!

The band includes Con Settineri (drums), and James Vertley (Guitar) and they play music for all tastes, from ‘easy listening laid back classics’ to having the dance floor pumping with songs from 70’s funk to today`s contemporary hits as well as some rock & roll, reggae and latin rhythms.

Islanders Please Help
Islanders, please help. We have to move our boat off the end of Eastern Wharf because Maritime has just designated our spot as no-tie-up zone.Ivan uses the boat for work 6 days a week - he’s a yacht broker, so not having a place to tie up is a complete disaster for us.
If anyone is willing to rent us a spot on their jetty, we would be so grateful.
