AUSTA WA Facebook Group
In addition to the AUSTA WA Facebook page, (which is largely for AUSTA events, member news and opportunities posted by AUSTA Social Media managers) we have started a page AUSTA WA Group which is for members of the group and others to post freely in regard to anything of interest to the string community. All responsibility lies with those who post and is not the responsibility of AUSTA WA.
