Like all other groups, Melbourne Comhaltas is in lockdown and not meeting

We are not in St Philip’s Hall these Wednesday nights.

Our dance weekend in May is cancelled.

Our last function was St Patrick’s night when indoor groups of less than 100 people were allowed. Our numbers were way down and well under that. Those who attended however really enjoyed the night.

Photos can be seen here:        https://www.smugmug.com/gallery/n-pjfGKW
