We have had some amazing Guest Speaker and we look forward to Viviane procurring many more into the future.

Great job, Viv!

Here are just a few of them during 2022/3!

Historian Gerry Robinson took us on a journey through Ringwood and its surrounds. From the original geology of the area, through the geography and the impact of settlement on the land and subsequent historical events. He provided an entertaining and thought provoking snapshot of the region we live in.

 

Judy Frederick provided an interesting account of her trip to the Antarctic. Many photos on the nature and habitat of Antarctica were shown with personal stories connected to these. All members found her talk very interesting and educational! The photographs were spectacular!

 

Shona and Jordan from Home Instead gave a very informative and thought provoking talk and had lots of member's questions answered. Home Instead is an Australian wide franchised organisation that specialises in providing services  to support ageing adults in living comfortably and independently in their own homes. Shona was a very good speaker and related well to our members.

 

Lorraine Smith: The Journey of a Lost Manuscript 

 One day a 16th century parchment was found in Lorraine’s bookshop and her research into it is the subject of her talk today. Her book ‘Journey of a Lost Manuscript’ is her third foray in writing non-fiction, having written her family history in 2013 and co-written ‘Warrnambool, a Photographic View’ with Neil in 2015. It was a fascinating talk!
