SUMMARY:Theatre Group – ‘The President’ at Roslyn Packer Theatre (STC)
DESCRIPTION:By Thomas Bernhard\nTranslated by Gitta Honegger\nDirected by Tom Creed \nA theatrical masterpiece performed by two icons \nHugo Weaving returns to the stage\, joined by one of Ireland’s greatest actors\, Olwen Fouéré (Terminus).

With a creative team featuring world-class Australian talent\, Creed will bring this searingly relevant story of ambition\, power and change to an Australian audience for the very first time. \nAlong with these two titans of acting\, we are in for an extraordinary night of theatre. \nApprox. duration 2 hrs 20 mins (including interval) \nContent Adult themes and smoking \nDATE: Thursday 16 May 2024 \nTIME: 7.30pm \nVENUE: Roslyn Packer Theatre\, 22 Hickson Road\, Walsh Bay NSW 2000 \nTICKETS: To buy your tickets visit www.sydneytheatrecompany.com \nJudith and Cherry have purchased seats C22 and C33 \nPRE-THEATRE DRINKS/SNACKS (Optional): There will also be the option to join us for pre-theatre drinks/small food or boards at ‘The Theatre Bar at the End of the Wharf’.

SUMMARY:Monthly Activity - Waverley Cemetery Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Monthly activity for April will be held the first Thursday in May owing to the 5th Thursday of April being ANZAC Day.\nThe physical location of the Cemetery on the cliffs above Bronte is a magnificent background and setting. The Waverley Cemetery is a heritage-listed cemetery on top of the cliffs at Bronte in the eastern suburbs of Sydney\, New South Wales\, Australia. Opened in 1877 and built by R. Watkins (cemetery lodge\, 1878) and P. Beddie (cemetery office\, 1915)\, the cemetery is noted for its largely intact Victorian and Edwardian monuments. It is regularly cited as being one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world. The cemetery contains the graves of many significant Australians including the poet Henry Lawson.

The tours which last 90 minutes are conducted by volunteers who are members of the Friends of Waverley Cemeteries.

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.

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. This is often in the Mosman area. \nDATE: Usually 2nd and 3rd Fridays of the month \nTIME: 1.00pm – 3.30pm \nVENUE: The Kirribilli Club\, 11 Harbourview Crescent\, Lavender Bay \nRSVP TO: Catherine Marsh  at rummikubswic@gmail.com \nFor changes on the day\, please text or ring Catherine on 0406 423 304 \nRSVP BY:  Thursday morning before play on Friday \nTRANSPORT:  Parking available at The Kirribilli Club.
