Four excellent presentations will conclude the first term of TAAC (Tuesday Afternoon at the Centre). These events are free this term and are a chance to experience something different and have an afternoon tea with friends.
Tuesday August 24th @ 2.00pm
Brian Nicoll is a dedicated collector; in fact for years he had a shop in Port Macquarie trading in coins and banknotes (the shop is still going but with a different proprietor). Brian believes banknotes are the best investment going and he will talk to us and answer questions about Australian banknotes past and present.
Tuesday August 31st @ 2.00pm
Do you want to go beyond the politicians’ cliches about asylum seekers and find out why Professor Pat McGorry described detention centres as factories for producing mental illness?

Tuesday September 7th @ 2.00pm Les Smith, Convenor, ‘Investing in Shares’
‘If only...’It was Mothers’ Day in 2010. A familygathering was taking place. Conversationswere refl ective in nature. None better thanremembering loved ones and, in particular,the most loved of all – my MUM and hermany lost opportunities, indeed sacrifi ces, forthe sake of us ‘kids’.I recall vividly as a young boy the fi rst time‘Ella Mabel’ used the above words. It wasbelow the escarpment which stands proudlyabove Wollongong – my birthplace. Of course,Mum was referring to the fi rst releases of landresponsible for the start of the urban sprawl aswe know it today. Ask yourself: ‘When was the first time I uttered the words – ‘if only’?’.Let us meet to share our mutual experiencesand the impact they have had on our futuredirection in life.
