BUMS

Annual General Meeting

You are invited to attend the Brisbane Ukulele Musicians Society Inc Annual General Meeting for 2025.  You would have received this invitation if you are a financial or life member of BUMS Inc. 

Don't forget to bring your uke! 

As has become the custom, the formal AGM meeting will be squeezed between a couple of jams — so the format of the afternoon event will be a welcoming afternoon tea, followed by an opening jam with Sublime Ukelectics, the AGM, and then a closing jam with the Ferny Groovers.

All the information here.

James Hill Workshop

Many of our Uke players enjoyed a wonderful Monday afternoon with James Hill, a well-known and well-respected Ukulele Player and Teacher from Canada.

James’s style of teaching is wonderfully entertaining and informative, ensuring that all players from Beginners to Advanced were able to benefit from the workshops. His step-by-step guidance ensured that everyone understood the concepts and were able to play along.

Judi's full report.
