Caledonian Society and Donau Rhein Verein

Donau Rhein Verein is a club for persons of German, Austrian or Swiss descent and their friends. We conduct an annual Oktoberfest and Weihnachtsmarkt and meet bi-monthly for cultural events. Our larger events are held at the Glen Innes Masonic centre and our smaller club nights are held at History House. We maintain a small dance group and choir. We raise funds for local charities and in 2015 donated $750.00 to the local hospital for their fundraising for a helicopter pad and $200.00 to History House for their kitchen upgrade. We sponsor a $1000.00 per annum Best New Celtic Talent Award during the local Australian Celtic Festival.
