To get you in a Scottish mood, a wonderful line-up of talented local artists will entertain.
The Manning Valley U3A Silvertones, under the direction of the well-known Pam Archer, will open the concert heralding a stirring afternoon of Celtic music guaranteed to get your feet tapping and your kilt swinging.
Other performers include Alan Hughston who will sing solo and also in a quartet, Krissie Waugh dancing as only she can and Cameron Waugh who will entertain us on the piano.
Folk singers Jim Kelly and Jacquie Roetman will also perform as well as three other well known local singers Deirdre Sutherland, Helen Holliday and Sheila O'Connor. Heather McLaughlin, violin, will perform with Sandra Kwa on piano.
For the very first time, but a popular performer at other festivals, Catherine Watson will entertain with a dramatic monologue.
It is hoped there will be time for a wee sing-a-long and of course no Scottish concert would be complete without the Manning Valley Pipes and Drums.
The afternoon will be under the masterful control of local golfing identity Sandy Dunn.
Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased at the door. For a gold coin donation, you can finish the afternoon with afternoon tea.
The 15th Bonnie Wingham Scottish Festival is held with financial assistance from the federal government's building better regions fund.
