Our guest speaker for October is Councillor Sophie Torney, Mayor of Boroondara Council

Councillor Torney was our guest at this year’s 21^st celebration and took the opportunity to talk with many of us and expressed an interest to address us at a later date.

With some 80% of the membership residing in Boroondara this is the opportunity to hear first hand how the council functions and ask questions on services and facilities of personal interest.

Septembers Speaker

Susan-Gaye Anderson gave us a first hand insight into day-time television when it was in its infancy. Her presentation took us from a young naive girl placed in the middle of a pressure situation in a show that eventually became the ‘Tarax Show’ through to stories of the then big stars (like Happy Hammond, Norman Swain and Geoff Corke), and their attitude to their fellow performers and to the ‘new’ medium generally.

Mike Pavey did an admirable job of advancing her many slides to keep up with her pacey patter.

All in all it was a very enjoyable performance and we appreciated her taking the time to talk to our club.
