‘BLOWING IN THE WIND’ FROM NUTS DECEMBER 2025.

This video by Ken does a great scan of the audience and highlights two things:

- That the words of this song are still valid today AND ….
- NUTS are a pretty good community choir as well as a Uke group.

See you all on the 10th JANUARY 2026…..NOTE it’s the 10th!

NUTS 2025 CHRISTMAS UKE JAM.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who attended the last NUTS meeting of 2025. We arrived to find that most of our chairs had been commandeered by a group in the hall next door. After some amicable negotiating the chairs were returned and the NUTS set-up machine swung into action.

So miraculously the meeting started on time with almost 90 NUTS in attendance and over 30 NUTS taking to the stage. We squeezed in almost 22 songs before a short break was followed by the FREE Christmas Party with sensational food- especially the prawns,pizza and plates - brought by NUTS - and a good time was had by all.

Janice our catering coordinator was presented with a special award for her service organising the monthly afternoon teas - despite moving to the Central Coast - and the ‘ Christmas Hat award’ went to John our popular BASSMAN who went the full Monty by dressing up as an elf. The secret ‘ Under Seat Prize’ went to Doug of the RobynDoug Duo fame.

It was also announced that NUTS had made two $1,000 charity donations in December 2026.

The first donation was to the NORTHERN BEACHES WOMENS SHELTER and the other recipient was the FIGHT FOR A CURE CHARITY a local cancer research group based right here on the Northern Beaches.

NUTS like any organisation is only a good as the people who support it and we have so many amazing helpers that naming you all individually would be too onerous. So a big THANK YOU to everyone and we look forward to seeing you all again in 2026.

Please note that the JANUARY 2026 meeting will NOT be held on the first Saturday of JANUARY. We considered the date to be a bit too close to the busy New Year period which would have affected our numbers so we have postponed the meeting until Saturday 10th January 2026.

So see you all on the 10th and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a UKEY NEW YEAR!

SAD PASSING OF PAULINE SYMONS
Sad to report that Pauline Symons - an original NUTS member- has just passed away after a long battle with cancer. Pauline was the partner of John White our resident bass player and will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to John and Pauline’s family.

About 5 years ago a very special guest - and fellow uke lover - dropped into NUTS UKES one Saturday afternoon. You will never know how much joy you gave us Col Joy?
What a showman and what a star! Please come back Col?

What a a fabulous night of fun, music and sensational food. NUTS Ukes supplied the music for the PROVEDA volunteers end-of-year party. [PROVEDA is a community care organisation based on the NB who provide assistance in important areas such as aged care and dementia support.] We had a ball and if you are in Narrabeen please stop in at the H2O Cafe on the lakefront at 1431 Pittwater Rd, NARRABEEN 2101. Lovely place, lovely people and sensational food!
