Thank you for your understanding during
the challenging times we have experienced in
2020-2022.

Sadly
Covid-19 Cancellations Continue
Regrettably the FFF annual Australia Day
Luncheon was again cancelled for 2022
due to uncertainties regarding the Covid-19
Pandemic.
And now, due to ongoing Covid 19
uncertainties, we have also cancelled our
proposed May 13th 2022
Captain Cook Sydney Harbour Cruise/High Tea.
It had been intended to celebrate the
Sailing of the First Fleet from Portsmouth
in 1787.

Have you heard?
There's a proposal for a new FFF
Chapter on the Queensland Gold Coast? Stay
tuned for updates!
