2010 Champagne Breakfast (posted 5 March 2010)

Sunday 28th March is the date for our annual champagne breakfast members function.  It's an opportunity for us to thank you for your support, and to catch up with old friends that we may not see as often as we'd like.  There will be a cost this year of $5, but that will get you a good feed of bacon and eggs, and as much champagne as is decent at that time of the morning.  The function starts at 9am - members may like to plan to stay in South Perth long enough to attend the Max Kay concert (see below).

If you would like to attend the event, please call Norma on 9367 8719, or send your name via an email by clicking on the following link.

Sad News (posted 5 March 2010)

We are sad to announce that Wendy Whitley, one of our long-standing members, passed away on February 19th.  Liz Hodge, who was made a life member of the Old Mill Theatre recently, is currently seriously ill.  Our thoughts go out both to Liz and to the Whitley family.

Our Website is Back Up and Running  (posted 20 February 2010)

Anyone who has been checking this website regularly will have noticed that there have been no updates for a couple of months.  This was due to a major system crash at our internet service provider in December that corrupted our web builder program and required us to rebuild the site.  We have now restored the data that was lost, and will be progressively adding new content to bring the site fully up to date.  Thanks for your patience!
