I am often asked by hirers if we have whiteboards. The answer used to be no, but now it is yes !
We now have two freestanding whiteboards on rollers which can be flipped to give 4 writing surfaces.

All stakeholders please take note, we became aware on Friday 28 October of road works at the above intersection. This intersection abuts our property. Works are to commence this Monday, 31 October.
Correspondence from the City of Yarra advises;
TIME FRAME
Works are programmed to commence on Monday 31 October and will be staged over a period of two weeks (weather dependent).
ACCESS
While the works are being undertaken, traffic management will be in place. The entrance to Henry Street till be closed during these works. Access to Henry Street will be via Langridge Street for this time, meaning Henry Street will temporarily become two-way.
It is currently our intent to lodge a written complaint with the City of Yarra.
Should you have any questions in relation to this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.

A world where monsters are made of money, democracy is a myth, and the justice system lies in a coma.
Bertolt Brecht's satire is a mash-up of American gangster movies and
Richard III, offering a searing allegory on Adolf Hitler's rise to power
through the grimy lens of 1930's Chicago.
After building
acclaim reviving Australian playwrights with his company Don't Look
Away, Director Phil Rouse turns his attention to one of the giants of
20th century western theatre. It's a production that offers a
contemporary take on Brecht's fable, honouring the classic text while
illuminating the state of conservative politics in the 21st Century.

This weekend is Open Houses !
This year, the Collingwood Masonic Centre (which contains Abbosford Hall) will be open
Sat 30 July 2016, 10 am - 4 pm
Sun 31 July 2016, 10 am - 4 pm
Ever heard of that secret and mysterious group, The Freemasons? This is a
chance to go inside one of their mysterious buildings which are
scattered over Melbourne and indeed the globe. Completed in 1929, the
Collingwood Masonic Centre is a two-storey, purpose-built Masonic hall
with an operational Masonic lodge room upstairs. It is still proudly
owned and used by the Freemasons, who are available during Open House
Melbourne to talk to about their organisation and how the building is
used. Hear how the Arts and Crafts style building is being restored and
used in the 21st century as a local and enduring community asset. Hear
its history and explanations of the building's furniture, fittings and
design, and why the Freemasons of the late 19th and early 20th centuries
moved from traditional meeting places of pubs into their own
purpose-built structures. This building retains most of its original
furniture and many original fittings, and is a time capsule to a bygone
design and social era. Open House Melbourne provides a rare chance to
tour the lodge room, and understand some of its rich symbolism and the
history of this fraternity which was founded in 1717 and still operates
today.

Thank you so much for the people who have given us testimonials over the years.
I must say, I tend to get a bit slack asking for them because they all tend to say similar things;
Wonderful hire space

Well, we're not sure yet !
With only 3 weeks to go before performers need to lock their venues in, this year, it's looking like we will not be holding a Fringe Festival event.. but there is still time !
Contact us today about using us as an inexpensive, appealing and unique rehearsal or performance venue !
