Cultural walkers wanted

Gosford Council has invited Peninsula residents to take part in a cultural friendship walk to help launch the Australian Sister Cities Association (ASCA) national conference being held at the Ettalong Beach Club at the end of the month.

The cultural friendship walk will take place at Gosford Regional Gallery on July 25, from 7pm to 8.30pm and will feature artistic displays and cultural performances.

"These events will provide the opportunity to celebrate the strong relationships that have developed between Gosford and our sister cities since 1988, and build upon them for the benefit of our future generations," said Gosford mayor Cr Jim Macfadyen.

"These relationships have gone from strength to strength and have inspired our community to become more involved within Gosford City, and learn about different traditions, customs and lifestyles.

"I invite everyone in the community to be part of the ASCA national conference and the celebration of our sister city relationships by taking part in the cultural friendship walk."

Program highlights include lanterns, musical performances, Indigenous dance, an artistic exhibition and performances by NAISDA and the Gosford Chinese Performing Arts Inc.

Numbers to the cultural friendship walk event are limited.

Phone Leisa on 4325 8332 or email leisa.rowell@gosford.nsw.gov.au to register attendance by tomorrow, Tuesday, July 22.
