Tomaree Ukestra
sheets from songs we've covered as well as other
songs and photos from performances.
Check it out here.
Monday mornings - 9:30-11:30am
The 'Bay' is a beautiful place, rivalling the Whitsundays (we
reckon it is better). A lot of people retire up there. The
Tomaree Ukestra started in May 2010 and has been slowly
growing from a very solid weekly core.
Persistence will eventually pay off and we really hope to
establish a vibrant community of ukulele players. Indeed, it
already exists!, with many of the weekly Tomaree Ukestrans
also gathering at each other's houses (sometimes waterfront!)
to play uke together.
There are many retirees up at Port Stephens, but it is
sometimes quite difficult to get word out to the community of
'non-tourists' who reside in the various settlements of the
Tomaree Peninsula (Nelson Bay, Shoal Bay, Fingal Bay,
Salamander, Soldiers Point, Anna Bay, the Tilligerry
Peninsula). So word of mouth is very important, and that
is happening. Talk Uke and people will start to do uke!
We meet at the Fingal
Bay
Sports Club at 9:30 on a Monday morning.

The cost for a 2 hour Tomaree Ukestra session is $15. However new people are invited to contact Mark and come a half an hour earlier for a quick lesson prior to the main session.
A few months ago we had a lovely
story in the Port Stephens Examiner.
And this is some of the mob who had their photo taken for the
Examiner.
