Our first talk for 2026 will be on Friday 27th March. Our guest speaker Jennifer Reilly, will take the audience through the story she wrote about a unique character she knew when living in Tennant Creek. Jenny met Gunar Bekeris when she was four years old. Gunar's story is so unique, Jenny has a passion to share his tale.

You will notice on the flyer that the entrance fee has unfortunately increased to $10 after many, many years of being $5. For this $10, you get nibbles, admittedly you pay a $5 donation for a glass of wine, but you do get to enjoy our excellent varied monthly presentations.
