SPAT Singers: will they or won’t they?

Without letting too much out of the bag, there are strong rumours that some members of the SPAT Singers will be making a cameo appearance in Tap Cats of The Sunshine Coast. I have been sworn to secrecy about revealing any further details.

The dates the SPAT Singers evening supper shows are Saturday, June 21 and Saturday, June 28, and a late-afternoon soiree on Sunday, June 29. We meet at 7:30pm every Friday at Stanwell Park’s CWA Hall. If you’d like to fill your Friday evening with song, friendship and laughter, come along.

Updating and improving the SPAT website

Our website needs updating and committee member Christine Higgins, who also ran a very successful IT business, said that if we want to create a meaningful website, we firstly need to identify our shared SPAT’s values and our vision. She is putting together a questionnaire, which will go out to all of SPAT’s financial members. Please make sure this year’s fee of $15 has been paid, so that you receive the questionnaire. Go to www.spat.org.au.

Save the dates for our end of winter/early spring show: August 29 and 30, and September 5 and 6. It will either be two one-act plays or Peter and the Wolf, using our significant in-house musical talent, along with puppets, followed by a one-act play.
