Last Month's Activities:
There was plenty to keep our members busy during May and I am pleasedf to report that the May Bazaar went off well - NO RAIN!
Ther films shown were very well received and the acting in "A Beautiful Life" made up for the subtitles, as the film was all in Italian. It is no wonder it received such acclaim when it was released.
Our Poetry Sessions go from strength to strength and have been a barrel of laughs recently and even Dr Suess has played his part in the entertainment.

This Month Films:
Both this months films are not to be missed with all the Andrew Lloyd Webber music in Joseph. The making of this movie is well worth a look when playing the cd.
Charlie Wilson's War is a diofferent story, showing lots of scenes based upon fact and covers the Cold War with Russia period.

Early Australian Entrepreneurs:
This will explore some of the people, including Sir William Manning & Henry Dangar together with T S Mort & Benjamin Buchanan.It will briefly touch on the exploration and development of New South Wales as a result of these peoples entepreneurial skills in setting up large grazing areas and agriculural empires North & South of Sydney in the early 1800's It will cover the Manning Brothers interests in coastal Shipping, a quick look at the Australian Agricultural Company, The development of the Eden Monaro area, The early Wool Trade and the export of frozen meats.
Obviouisly in 2 hours it can only be a potted version of early Aussie History.

Meet the Council:
Bree Dennis will continue the story of Coucil's involvement in youth entertainment and education in Taree and surrounding areas, which was started by Graham Kellner in an earlier talk.

General:
