Christmas craft market 14th Dec
- shop for Christmas and have fun!

The first ever Robertson CTC Christmas Craft Market will take place on Sunday 14 December from 10am until 3 pm. Come along and join us at the CTC after the Robertson Markets!

There will be art pieces, handmade goods, Christmas cakes and new CDs available for purchase - new releases and box sets for just a few coins, a great opportunity to shop for Christmas and to support your CTC (20% of other takings and all proceedings from the CD sales go to the centre)!

The newly formed community choir will perform favourite Christmas Carols.

Do you have handmade items that you could sell at our markets? Would you like to reserve a stall? Contact Monica at the CTC, tel. 4885 2665 or monicaengel [at] robertsonctc [dot] org [dot] au - if you are not able to be there on the day, we can take care of the sales on your behalf.

 

Join the choir!

Do you like to sing? Would you like to be part of a community choir in Robertson? The Robertson Village People Choir meets at the CTC on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month at 7.30pm (except in school holidays).

$3 per session donation to CTC.

Now practising carols for Christmas – new mixed repertoire in the New Year with choir master Steven Fearnley!

All welcome – 18yrs +

Contact – Jenny Kena on 4885 1568 or email: jennykena [at] robertsonctc [dot] org [dot] au

 

Photo competition 2008
results and exhibition

The 2009 CTC Photo Competition photos are on public exhibition at the CTC - Wednesday to Saturdays, as per normal opening hours. All are welcome to have a look.

In keeping with 2008 being the International Year of the Potato, the theme was anything to do with potatoes. Although the number of entries was not high (please remember to enter next year's competition, folks!) the standard was very good.

The judge was Mrs Toni Valentine, President of the Southern Highlands Photographic Society. She chose the winning entry to be "Vincent's Potato Eaters and Lale's Potatoes" - a still life photograph by Judy Benjamin (pictured).

In The Bin
is coming to Robertson

In the Bin touring festival is coming to Robertson again. Join us on Friday 14 November at 7:30 pm. Bring a picnic, blanket and your deckchair, and sit back and relax. Entry is free!

Robertson CTC is delighted to host the Wingecarribee screening of this unique travelling film festival. There are 12 great short films in the 2008 program plus you’ll get to see a film made by some local budding film makers in three days before the festival.

The CTC café will be open serving snacks, light food and Vittoria coffee.

 

 

Music nights
now twice a month

From March 2008, the music nights at the CTC take place on the 2nd and 4th Thursday evening of each month (public holidays excepted). The next session will be on Thursday, 27 March - join us from 7pm for a great night of jamming and listening!

New format for music night includes an open mike session from 7.30 until 9.30 with performers booking in to play. This is followed by a jam session. The IT room will be closed at 7pm, but the two cafe computers will cater for anybody needing to surf the net during the night.

The music night dates for the next couple of months are: March 27, April 10, 24, May 8, 22, June 12 and 26.

 

Attention all Chess Players

We now have 2 chess sets available at the CTC. Come along and have a game. Would you like to start a chess club?


Committee update
