ADFAS Bowral & District provides for its members a yearly programme of illustrated lectures given by overseas and Australian lecturers chosen for their communication skills and expert knowledge in their fields.

Occasional other activities are also held when topics can be examined in more detail. Two excursions to events or places of interest to members are usually organised each year.

Volunteers to assist with local projects, e.g. Church Recording and committee duties are always most welcome. Please contact a member of the Committee for further information.

ADFAS Bowral & District was formed in 1988. See History of ADFAS Bowral & Districts.
