Following our AGM architect, Geoffrey Borrack, who has lived and worked in East Melbourne since the early 1960s, will tell us of his memories of the suburb before gentrification took hold.  Geoffrey has been instrumental in saving some of our most notable houses from demolition and has played a significant part in re-shaping the homes of East Melbourne for modern living.   He has vivid memories of our area’s less salubrious days.

The Melbourne Women's Choir, under the direction of Faye Dumont, will sing beautiful sacred and secular music from across the ages.  May Gavin, accompnist.  Afternoon tea will follow the concert.
