Carols by the river

December 2017

ONCE AGAIN, the sounds of traditional Christmas carols will be wafting around the banks of the Meander River in Deloraine as the annual Carols by the River unfolds.

The event will be at the rotunda on Saturday, 16th December.

The Meander Men will be singing rollicking songs such as Lord of the Dance and Good King Wenceslas. There will be items from a Deloraine Primary School choir, Charlotte and Cecilia Wickham and Hannah Beck. The Blast Kids’ Club will also make their presence heard.

The Community Christmas Choir, with instruments, will perform and lead the community singing. Josh Skeat will also make an appearance and Tony Parsons will be master of ceremonies.

A sausage sizzle starts at 6.30pm with the main program commencing at 7 o’clock finishing at about 8.30pm. Candles will be available for sale. The event is free, but donations to help defray costs is appreciated.

As for the past 30 years, the evening is presented by the Combined Churches of Deloraine. Contact John Phelps on 6362 4488.
