It is the first meeting of the year for Finley Amateur Dramatic & Musical Society - or FADAMS as it is affectionately known.
The community has supported this group for more than 70 years, which has provided many wonderful shows, keeping families and audiences of all ages entertained by watching relatives on stage.
The organisers are appealing to the public to attend the meeting this evening and to assist in keeping this iconic local legacy alive.
There are opportunities to be on stage (or backstage) for the 2025 show.
No experience is necessary, just a commitment to attend weekly rehearsals and willing to be a member of a fun team.
Further information can be obtained by contacting Ross Whittaker on 0419 649 508 or Tracy Anderson on 0427 639 284.

Finley Bowling Club members were extremely thankful to local business, Pether Ag, for sponsoring the Trade Day held last Thursday and which attracted 72 bowlers from the surrounding area to participate.
The organisers would like to thank Matt and Jess Pether for their support of the club which is run almost entirely by volunteers.
Entries were received from Berrigan, Tocumwal, Barooga, Cobram, Nathalia, Numurkah Golf, Numurkah Town and Picola to join Finley bowlers for a great day on the greens.
The Berrigan team of Hardie Rennick, Joe Cottam and Graeme Clements were too good for the runner-up Finley team of Andrew Hill, Greg Pyle and Ashleigh Haines.
Finley Bowling Club, like most clubs, has been experiencing difficult times and is a credit to the many members who have volunteered their time and expertise to ensure the town has a bowling facility of such high quality.
A shortage of sponsors has resulted in the organisers appealing to local businesses and organisations to assist in this way so that special events will continue to attract visiting bowlers to the town for future events.
The club is continuing to provide the community with an entertainment venue and has many attractions for people of all ages.
A meat raffle is held every Thursday evening; Friday night raffles are of a high standard and social bowls on Sunday mornings provide an opportunity for a casual game and/or an introduction for anyone who may wish to see if they would like to take up the game.
New members are always welcome, and further information can be obtained by contacting Tony Turner on 0402 944 741.
President Jason Finnerty would like all members who have email to contact him ASAP with their email address.
These contacts will be used to keep everyone informed of what is happening at the Club.
