"Usually, there are more than 10 ladies coming on the days to have fun playing ukuleles.

"We even have a name for the ukulele group (Rainbow Ukulele Group RUG)."

Mrs Park said the Seedling Fund created "opportunities for people and groups to contribute to a thriving community".

Applications for the second round of the Seedling Fund close tomorrow.

Some $5500 is available for three local clubs, groups or associations.

Finalists will be selected in April and the community will be able to vote for their preferred clubs in May.
