Bendigo and Ballarat Incoming.

To round out another great year for our club we are opening two Chapters this December, the long overdue Bendigo and Ballarat. We’ve been planning on open many more central Victorian Chapters after our success in Castlemaine and these two towns are the obvious places to start.

Our Ballarat Chapter will be kicking off with its first meet at the excellent North Briton Hotel. It’s a traditional English style pub with classic pub food and a very solid wine list. The Bendigo Chapter however is going for something a bit more modern, it’s going to be upstairs at well know The Metropolitan Hotel.

Both of these Chapters will have their first meet on the 6th of December at 7pm.

This month we are reading the semi-autobiographical novel Johnno by Australian author David Malouf. Grab a copy and start knocking over a couple of pages today. If you don’t get a hold of it in time turn up anyway, no one cares if you read the book. See you then.
