The group that has more than 175 members will meet at the City Memorial Bowls Club to mark the end of their 16th year.
With a reputation for supporting the community’s neediest members, this weekend’s event will be another fundraising meet.
“We are still deciding which community group to support this weekend,” she said.
“In April we raised more than $2000 for drought-affected farmers and before that it was the Standing Tall foundation.
“The Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal has also been one of our focuses over the years too.”
The group formed in 2002 after hosting two successful Slim Dusty tribute concerts.
“We organise concerts the third Sunday of every month,” Ms White said.
“And we feature a guest artist, resident band and walk-ups each time.”
Ms White said anyone is welcome to join the group who pride themselves on sharing a love of good traditional country music while supporting a good cause.
The final meet for 2018 will be on Sunday at the City Memorial Bowls Club from 1pm to 4.30pm.
