We are looking forward to hearing memories from last year's members on one of three topics set for the holiday period on our return on Monday 28 February at 2 pm -
#1 One Moment, This Year
Looking back on 2021, what single moment stands out for you? Whether it be loss, love, discovery or disappointment, share your unforgettable moment.
#2 A Memoir' - ‘Head for your bookshelf, the library or an online book-store to retrieve a memoir, preferably one which has meant something to you. When did it enter your life? How did it then, or does it now, relate to your life story?’ (If you would like a more detailed framework to write your memoir review, check out ‘A Memoir which has meant something to me’ from the ATGB web page.)
#3 ‘I Was There’…
Have you experienced a significant news, historical or cultural event first-hand? Share your personal piece of history in 500 words.
New members are also encouraged to bring along a story, either 'I Was There’ (#3 above) or ‘New in Town’, a great topic to share to introduce yourself if you are relatively new to Benalla. The brief ‘Have you ever been the new person in town? Or did someone else's arrival have a profound impact on you? Share your story in 500 words'. However, it’s fine to ‘pass’ and enjoy the stories shared by others.
Looking forward to seeing you all on Monday 28 February at 2 pm in meeting room 1!
