On Saturday March 16, they are going back to the 1950s.
They will have the local Canowindra Choir performing a few songs from that era, playing some trivia and having a good old chin wag about times gone by.

The aim of Meals and Memories luncheon is to bring our senior community members together, eat a nostalgic meal and enjoy each other's company.
To ensure no one misses out, we are offering transport to and from the Centre. The question has been asked "can anyone come?" The answer is yes.
We extend the hand of friendship to all in Canowindra, that includes Food Basket and any of the activities we host.
The successful Family Games Night commences again once per month on Friday, March 8 from 6pm.
This is a fun night that includes dinner cooked by our volunteers using locally grown and food basket products.
We ask for a $20 contribution for individuals and $30 per couple to Meals & Memories and $20 per family for Family Games Night.
This helps us cover our costs and to ensure our events are financially sustainable and low cost for all. If you would like to book in for or volunteer at any of these events, please contact Jacquie on 0480 450 079. Hope to see you connecting through Canowindra Connections Centre in 2024.
The Canowindra Connections Centre opened its doors in January 2023 as a new "expression of Church" - a joint initiative of the Canwindra Anglican and Uniting Churches.
Food Basket is only one of the activities we hold at the Centre.
Last year, we put many locals through short courses, held vision board workshops, sourced a local counsellor and psychologist to provide face to face mental health services.
