Morning tea at Meet and Mingle was this month provided by students’ from the Flexible Learning Centre who are doing a Barista course. They served cappuccino, flat whites, long blacks and tea. A big thank you to those concerned.
We also had a quiz with pen and pencil provided. No-one got all 20 questions correct, but it provided some thought provoking fun and reminded some of us to brush up on our general knowledge in case there is another quiz at future meetings.
Following this Terry showed some very old sections of early movies. The one of Ned Kelly was badly damaged but was all that could be salvaged from a much earlier era. Another showing scenes from early Melbourne provided much comment as members recognised buildings and commented on the fashions of the time. A picture of a train at Richmond station with Dimmy’s building in the background provided much interest.
