Possible gigs are in rough chronological order. When a gig becomes a definite commitment it is made into a page of its own and moved to the Home page in the Upcoming Gigs list. Before being definite we need to know several things about a gig: the occasion or hosting body, date, time, duration, venue, STUC organiser, event contact, suggested songs.
Weekend workshop sometime during the year
International Womens Day in March
Palm Sunday (contact Peter Murphy)
May Day
PSA Conference
PSA Women’s Conference
Teachers Fed Conference
We could look for gigs at the Marrickville Golf Club, Magic Carpet Ride, Loaded Dog, Politics in the Pub, Eureka commemoration, other choir anniversaries, Unions NSW (Linda Carruthers)
POSSIBLE VENUES FOR PRACTICE OR WORKSHOPS
Pat has registered the choir’s interest in the Booler Community Centre, 25-27 Lambert Street, Camperdown from the City Of Sydney Council. It is a free venue for developing musicians and students. Danny knows how to reserve a time and access the keys.
Danny has booked the OWN premises at 8 Victoria St, Newtown for a previous workshop.
Quakers Friends House (warden Alison on 9698-7158). They have worship on Sundays from 10:45am. Construction noise hazard for the foreseeable future while light rail to Kingsford is being built. Likely cost $25/hour.
Fran tried Fire Fighters but no prospect.
Bill offered his place if it becomes useful.
Mark asked but MUA finally said no. Problem of access after business hours. May change in future.
Mary to explore CPSU and AWU.
Cathy to explore Trades Hall.
Deborah to explore PSA.
Save Addison Road Marrickville for later since awkward transport for some.
