We were delighted to play to a full capacity audience at the Queenscliff Uniting Church - always our favourite place to play - to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Tides of Welcome! It was made even more special because it was Charles' last year at the church and we felt honoured that he could introduce us. The Borough of Queenscliffe provided some Community Grant funding so we were able to invite Kristi and Naomi from the Wathaurong Community Co-operative in Geelong to provide a Welcome to Country, amongst other things. A slide show created by Jacinta and Carolyn played for people upon entry displaying the many highlights over the 2o years. Wayne and Sarah, our 'book-end' choir directors, performed for the first half of the event and after intermission, Susan Russell who was an original Tider, spoke of her experiences when the choir was first established.
Our performance was sensational as we had both choir directors leading us through 10 songs before Andrea Robertson reflected upon her time with the choir and then an encore and a supper in the big hall alongside some videos from previous years. 
​A big thank you to all involved and our photographers on the day who captured the essence of our celebrations: Jesse Lehman, Don Kenyon and Tim Chuma.
