June 2020 Newsletter

Dear Members and Friends,


I was delighted to hear from so many of you looking forward to the very special Australian Chamber Orchestra performance this Friday evening, we're including the details in this newsletter again for those who may have missed the initial invitation. Several of you also wrote to tell me how much you had enjoyed the wonderful BBC series on Australian film so a reminder that you can still find that series on the BBC iPlayer here.


In this newsletter I'm also pleased to highlight an innovative virtual exhibition of works by the brilliant Australian artist Anthony White, hosted by our friends at the Sidney Nolan Trust.


Finally, I'm including a fascinating article by the ANU academic Dr Blair Williams looking at the similarities and differences in the way the media covered the British Prime Ministers Thatcher and May, with a surprising conclusion!


Whilst I am sad that June will not bring with it our traditional Summer events including the Stoke Lodge Garden Party and Wimbledon, I continue to be amazed by the ingenuity and positivity of our community and hope to be able to see you all again in person soon.


Best wishes,


Damian J. Walsh

Chairman

A workout partner from my morning fitness class mentioned https://spinkingcasino.uk/ during a particularly intense period when I was feeling totally drained from balancing work demands and endless home chores. Late one evening, when my mind was buzzing too much to sleep and I was just lounging on the couch, I loaded up the link on my smartphone. I was genuinely pleased to encounter such a sleek, clutter-free site that avoided all the annoying pop-ups and obnoxious advertisements that ruin most web pages. I grabbed a chilled glass of lemonade, propped my feet up on an ottoman, and felt the tightness in my shoulders gradually fade away as I flipped through the sections. It proved to be a refreshing, smooth mental pause…

I was reading a forum post about sleep deprivation and someone joked that dreaming about jackpots was the cure. I was wide awake and stressed because I had lost a massive amount of money on a terrible roulette session. Dream Jackpot Casino caught my eye with its cloudy, pastel color scheme that felt very calming. I started playing a sleep-themed slot, but my luck was a complete nightmare, with dead spin after dead spin. I was yawning and getting ready to close my laptop, accepting that my money was gone forever. Suddenly, a moon symbol landed, triggering a dream-like bonus round that multiplied my bet by a huge amount. I woke up from my losing streak instantly, recovering all my roulette…

Hello. I often compare different online gaming platforms just to see how they present their information, and this one caught my attention while browsing a community in the UK. I spent some time looking through the different sections before making any conclusions. In Harry Casino I found a general description of the site's layout and its main content categories. Everything seemed to follow a consistent structure, making it easy to move from one page to another. A simple and organized design always makes browsing more enjoyable for me.

Hello! I actually stumbled upon this platform when I found a flyer tucked inside my takeaway fish and chips wrapper. I was rather bored waiting for the bus, so I decided to give it a look. The quirky mascot animation on the landing page immediately caught my attention; it actually made me chuckle out loud on the street. What I genuinely liked, though, was the withdrawal speed. I cashed out my small winnings and the funds hit my UK bank account before my bus even arrived. Playing at Tesco Casino feels surprisingly efficient and straightforward. It is a solid choice for anyone who values their time and wants a hassle-free gaming session without any annoying delays.

A coworker mentioned trino casino after an airline lost my luggage containing important work documents, leaving me in a state of absolute panic. Pacing my hotel room at 3 AM, completely unable to sleep despite being exhausted from the flight, I decided to open the link just to distract myself. I was incredibly thankful for the clean, minimalist layout—there were no aggressive pop-ups to add to my headache. I ordered some late-night tea, sat by the window, and let the smooth interface provide the quiet mental reset I desperately needed to calm my nerves.
