Welcome to summer in Sydney’s
best neighbourhood!
N
otice anything different? Yes, we have a new logo and name. We have changed our name to The Kirribilli Centre. We realised that many people felt we only catered to the local neighbourhood, when in fact we service a greater area. Of course we are still here for our neighbourhood, so local’s please don’t think we have abandoned you. Now for the big news. The Kirribilli Centre is celebrating its 40th Anniversary in 2016. It has come a long way from the small volunteer service it initially was. There will be lots of celebrating, of course starting off in March with an extra special party this year for Senior week. In May there will be an Art prize valued at $3,000 for 1st prize, a people’s choice award of free life drawing classes at the Brett Whitely gallery and a $500 Youth art award. In September our famous Kirribilli markets will be putting on a food fair. This will be a delicious experience for all the community to come and celebrate our markets
birthday. There will be some wonderful entertainment as well. We are looking for stories of locals who were involved in setting up the Centre. We would like to know more information around how it came to fruition and who was involved, as we would like to invite them to a party later in the year to celebrate this achievement. All the usual classes and courses are running, with a few new and exciting additions. Check out our information in this brochure for all your needs. I am very excited about our 40th anniversary celebrations, so I hope you can join us at The Kirribilli Centre to celebrate. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I look forward to seeing you.
