The current flooding situation over much of Queensland has affected our bandhall somewhat. Coincidentally, we also had problems with our website, and couldn’t update it for a while.

The band is currently in Christmas recess, however members still hold our regular bingo games, which provide the funds that keep the band going. With the bandhall now surrounded by water, these games are currently suspended. It is hoped they will resume on Thursday January 13.

Fortunately, Rockhampton gets ample warning of largescale floods, so a couple of members attended and moved items to higher ground, just in case. Fortunately, with the water levels not reaching the 1991 level, no water entered the hall. We hope to begin rehearsals again on Monday January 17.
