Australia Cuba Friendship Society
(Sydney branch)

What is ACFS?
The ACFS aims to promote and encourage friendship, understanding, trade and other exchange between the people of Australia and Cuba.

We organise a variety of politico-cultural events during the year culminating in the annual Work/Study Brigade to Cuba. This is a three-week visit to Cuba focussing on political, economic, cultural and social aspects of Cuba. The ACFS supports humanitarian projects in Cuba. An ACFS priority is to end the US blockade of Cuba.

The ACFS meets at 6.30pm on the first Thursday of every month (except January) at the CEPU (Communications, Electrical and Plumbing Union) building, 1st floor, 741 George Street, Sydney. Meetings are open to all friends of Cuba and those interested in finding out more about Cuba.

Membership of the ACFS is $20 ($10 unwaged) per year. Here is our membership form. There is also a western suburbs branch whose meetings are conducted in Spanish. There are also many other branches of the ACFS around Australia. See below for their contact details.

To contact us, write to secretary@sydney-acfs.org or PO Box K364, Haymarket NSW 1240.
