CTC@Robertson
Community Café

 


The spacious community café
of CTC@Robertson, generously sponsored by Vittoria Coffee , is a perfect meeting place and excellent for having a cup of good coffee. It is also a suitable venue for a private party, a small conference or a meeting.
The café is equipped with a surround sound system, cinema screen and a dataprojector as well as fast internet connection for laptops.

On Thursdays, our volunteers organise music sessions for anyone interested in spontaneous jamming from 6-8 pm. If you are interested in volunteering in the community café, please get in touch. You can also download an application form from the volunteering section of this website.

Read and Release at BookCrossing.com...CTC@Robertson Community Cafe is also a Bookcrossing point - a place for book-lovers to pick up interesting reading or to leave their already-read books for others to peruse. These 'travelling' books have been registered on the internet on the Bookcrossing website so that their former owners and readers can track their progress in the hands of other readers. A fantastic place to pick up some reading for holidays or for a day off - for absolutely free!
Find out more about the books released so far at CTC@Robertson.

Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen
- music films in Robertson

April-May 2008. Robertson Community Cinema will screen two exciting music films in April and May. Fans of Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen should make sure to put these 2 dates in their diaries:

Saturday April 19th 7.30pm – Walk the Line
Saturday May 17th 7.30pm – Leonard Cohen - I’m Your Man

Walk the Line stars Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash and Reese Witherspoon as June Carter. This is the story of the legendary 'Man in Black' - his music, his message and the greatest love of his life. Joaquin and Reese do a fantastic job with their performances of Johnny Cash songs.

And speaking of legends, Leonard Cohen – I’m Your Man is a tribute to the 'Prince of Bummers'. Since 1967, Leonard has inspired generations with his unique personality and haunting music. Includes interviews with Cohen and friends as well as clips from a Sydney Opera House concert where fellow Canadian musicians performed Cohen songs. The movie ends with U2 performing 'Tower of Song' with the man himself.
