Although you you haven't had an update recently your committee are continuing with the goal of having the equipment installed for film showing in the early new year, it all takes time with quotes and availablity etc.
We are also getting into public places to encourage our growing support.
There was a fun evening on September 26th with music by Thin White Ukes playing David Bowie. Ian McClung ran a successful auction with donated goods and night raised $1300 approx for the Friend's and for the Theatre.
Later that week on the 30th Sept. we had an information stall next to Yass Repertory at the Cliftonwood open day, and spoke with a number of interested folk and several joined the Friends. We welcome these new members and look forward to any input, especially a volunteer to be secretary!!
There has been much discussion and quotes on the cinema equipment and it's moving along well. The Yass Repertory will commence removing their old lights etc in the coming week.
Several weeks we accepted four upholstered chairs from the St. Augustine's Parish council, the chairs reputed to have come from the Liberty's upstairs lounge. We are most grateful to have them back in the Theatre.
Sunday 12th November, Kim and Bimbi Turner will have their large Silverdale garden open for charity, possibly do the last time. The gate takings and a raffle are going to the Friends of the Liberty Theatre and Cultural Centre Inc.
Bookham/Berramangra and Yass Red Cross branches are selling Devonshire teas, sandwiches and slices. Yass Rotary is running the barbecue. The Chameleon Ice cream van will also selling delicious ice creams.
There will be various stalls, and Kim wine, honey, alpaca fine gifts, garden sculptures, plants, jams and olive oil from the huge aprox 160year+ Olive tree in the garden.
We hope many of you will come with friends and family and enjoy a relaxed day in a country garden which is wheelchair accessible, with seats scattered throughout.
With Christmas approaching the committee has discussed having an information stall at the Yass evening markets on December 15, also whether we wood have a "Float" in the street parade, we welcome any suggestions and assistance!!
Ben and Jo are keeping the Facebook upto date so please don't forget to check it and Like It.
We will endeavour to keep you update with another newsletter before Christmas.
Take care all.
