Meet and Greet.

 Patrick McCloskey has arrived to start working on the "Song People Sessions."

 Jeremy at a meeting with the WMC crew regarding the gig at Nyinkka Nyunyu.

Welcome Dirk Dickenson and Jordan Newcastle new to the Winanjjikari Music Centre team. Bye Bye Lester...we all miss you.

Wycliff Well

 WMC has been asked to do the staging/ P.A. lighting  and to perform at the Wycliff Well UFO symposium so we went down to have a look at the space and to confirm our quote. But there is always time to stop at Karlu Karlu. (Zaddock-Brian-Jeremy-T.L-Brendon.)

 The aliens had already arrived and were quite happy with the quote we gave them.

 Jeremy talked stage setup with Di, an earthling and one of the key organizers.

 T.L. meanwhile chatted with some local Wycliffians.

The little creek at the back of Wycliff Well flowing beautifully.

...still more training.

Snakes in Troopy's

 We had a report from the primary school that a giant snake had to be removed of premises!

 This was no ordinary snake, but the one used in production of last years play: "Birds of Tennant Creek."

Snake handlers, T.L. and Lesley extracted the snake from the primary school and transported it to the office of Winanjjikari Music Centre.

Training.

                                                      Is this the right one here Jeremy?

                                                     Try the third one on the left Brian.

                                         This one sounds right, don't you think so T.L, Brenden.
