DESCRIPTION:A poetic Australian story of love\, renewal and living on the land\, starring Kerry Armstrong and Colin Friels \nBy Angus Cerini\nDirected by Paige Rattray \nThe full force of nature \nFrom the monumental playwriting talents of 2020 Patrick White Playwrights Fellow\, Angus Cerini (The Bleeding Tree\, Wonnangatta)\, comes this epic and poetic story of love\, loss and renewal. \nStage and screen legends Colin Friels and Kerry Armstrong play Ray and Floss\, a farming couple who have lived off the land their entire adult lives.

SUMMARY:Monthly Activity - Heritage Post Office Tour: Fullerton Hotel (Waitlist)
DESCRIPTION:Dear Monthly Activists \nThis month we will visit the Fullerton Hotel at Martin Place for their Heritage Tour where the resident guide will journey with us\, delving into the vibrant history and culture of Sydney’s former General Post Office \nThe Sydney General Post Office (GPO) was constructed in two stages\, beginning in 1866 and designed under the guidance of colonial architect James Barnet.

In 1891\, the clock tower was finally completed\, and the bells rang out across Sydney for the first time. \nDelve into the vibrant history and culture of Sydney’s former GPO\,  and let our resident tour guide bring you on a journey through time on the GPO Heritage Tour\, to discover the stories\, tales and legends of the city’s iconic Grand Dame. \nDATE: Thursday 28 March 2024 \nTIME: 11.45am – 1.15pm VENUE: Fullerton Hotel\, Martin Place\, Sydney.\nMeet at the Concierge Desk 10 minutes prior \nCOST: $20.00 \nRSVP TO: swic.activitymonthly@gmail.com\nPlease add your phone number and the name of the outing: Fullerton Heritage Tour\nCaren Trafford\, Monthly Activity Organiser \nRSVP BY: Thursday 21st March 2024 to Caren Trafford \nPlease note: there are only 15 places\, so book early

SUMMARY:Rummikub
DESCRIPTION:Rummikub is an exciting and fun game\, just right for exercising the little grey cells in our brains and making new friends. If you don’t know the game\, it has a bit in common with the card game Rummy. It is very simple to learn\, has lots of twists\, and quickly becomes addictive! \nBeginners are welcome and there is no need to bring your own game. It is possible to play Rummikub with different numbers of people in one game. \nWe generally play at the Kirribilli Club in Lavender Bay but we also play in member’s homes depending on current health advice.

SUMMARY:SWIC Theatre Group – 16 March 2024 – ‘Holding the Man’
DESCRIPTION:The love story which defined a generation\, and a classic of the Australian stage\, in a brand new production. \nADAPTED BY TOMMY MURPHY FROM THE BOOK BY TIMOTHY CONIGRAVE \nDIRECTED BY EAMON FLACK \nAt a Jesuit boys’ school in 1970s Australia\, Tim’s eye falls on the footy captain\, John. To their mutual incredulity\, they fall in love – a love that lasts as they ‘and the society around them’ change\, mature. \nWhen they both test positive to something called HIV\, dreams\, liberations\, boundless possibilities vanish into the ether. But Tim and John have each other\, and they’ll need to hold on tight for what’s to come. \nDeeply felt\, frank and moving\, Tim Conigrave’s memoir of living and dying changed Australia. Tommy Murphy’s 2006 adaptation became an instant hit\, and brought a new audience to this heartfelt and laugh-out-loud-in-the-sadness story of queer identity and the quirks of love. \nDATE: Saturday 16 March 2024 \nTIME: 2.00pm (MATINEE) \nVENUE: Upstairs Theatre\, Belvoir St Theatre\, 25 Belvoir Street\, Surry Hills NSW 2010 \nTICKETS: $79 Seniors + Booking Fee \nTheatre Group Co-Convenors\, Cherry Spoor and Judith Nguyen\, have purchased seats F32\, F33  \nTo buy your tickets visit www.belvoir.com.au\, or ring the box office on 9699 3444 \nPRE-PERFORMANCE (Optional): You are welcome to join Co-Convenors Judith and Cherry for a casual lunch at 12 noon at Mai Viet\, a casual Asian/Vietnamese restaurant at 279 Cleveland Street\, Redfern.
