Don't stop there, Don! Aim for a Ukulele Orchestra of Cape Town.
Hey I have one of those ukes too. I'm not very good, but I'd be so keen on a uke orchestra of Cape Town.
I have another two friends who play too...both of whom are significantly better than I am .
Cool! Who has some arangements for multiple Ukes? Tash, the lady that sold it to me also plays - she taught me to play a song in Bothners before I walked out.
Check out the Ukele Orchestra of Great Britain on Youtube (or get one of their DVDs - their a lot of fun). What is interesting about so much that they do is that they have 5 or 6 instruments in the same space, but they work out their parts very cleverly so that nobody treads on anybody else's toes. Though more recently they have started extending their range with tenor ukes and even, at the gig I went to a couple of years ago, a sopranino uke. (Oh... one of them has a resonator uke too, and just to keep Alan happy there's also an Ovation uke which gets trotted out from time to time).
The other interesting thing about the UOGB is that they pretty much steer clear of the standard uke canon. They do do a George Formby number, but they rearrange it into something more suited toward balalaikas and cossack dancing.
