The BMC family

Two & sometimes three generations, born to parents who were members, or families who joined together, all are part of the BMC family. 

Rumour has it BMC was almost a matrimonial agency back in the Good Ol' Days - a quick count gave 38 couples from the 50s, 60, 70s & 80s!

   

Please email photos of your 2 or 3 generations - current photos or historic - all are part of our history.

BMC @ Turning Wave Festival of Irish & Australian Music, September 2014

It was our first visit to this Festival & we hope to be back.

Our first appearance was a 60 min concert of the Songs of John Dengate on the Friday evening which had a small but perfectly formed cast as most of our members couldn't 
get to Yass in time.
