**REMINDER **

 

August 2024

Following the successful visits from Manus McGuire (2022) and Colm Broderick and Francis Cunningham (2023) a date in August will be set aside for Jimmy Crowley and Eve Telford to play at the Club. Traditional musicians from Cork (Eve was born in Adelaide) they perform traditional music as well as their own compositions.

 

We will keep you informed once a firm date has been set.

 

​

COMPETITION

 

We have secured 3 double passes to the play ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time’ being performed on Friday 5 April at 7.30pm at the Goodwood Theatre. At the heart of the story is fifteen year old Christopher who stands beside Mrs Shear’s dead dog. It has been speared with a garden fork and Christopher is under suspicion. He records each fact in the book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington. Christopher has an extraordinary brain and is exceptional at maths, but he is ill equipped to interpret everyday life. Christopher’s detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that turns his world upside-down.

 

The competition opens at 9am on Monday 1 April so do not enter before. The first 3 responses received at secretary@irishclub.org.au after that date and time.

 

Question: What is the name of the dog?

 

The first three entries correctly naming the dog will each win a double pass to the performance.
