The Casey Scoop Dec 26

Good Morning Scoopers. I hope your christmas went well and you survived the family gatherings.

I didn't expect to be doing a newsletter this week because the schedule looked a little thin. But then I managed to find some tasty nuggets of interest here and there.

As a matter of urgency, there is the comedy event featuring the delightful Aaron Chen, coming to Bunjil in Feb. Tickets are 50% sold out for this show already and I wanted to make sure you didn't miss out. So go straight over to the Bunjil site to get your tickets.

While you are on the Bunjil website, getting tickets to Aarons show, also take a look at the 'Summer Stage' schedule. There are lots of activities and events lined up from mid Jan to mid Feb.
