The Drysdale Student Bar is open on Thursday nights to the public. Though this might not feel the same as Friday knock off drinks, I think it will be nice to catch up for a cocktail (or mocktail) and get the weekend started early. Only kidding! Ok, I'm thinking the 17th of May, which is 2 weeks away, so anyone who is around and keen to come along, let's make use of the new facilities, (it looks pretty good) and think of the most complicated cocktail to test the trainee bar people! Also, as mentioned previously, The Million Paws Walk is on the 20th of May. That gives us 2 days to recover from Thursday night ;) The walk will take place at the Old Bike Track at Inveresk near Aurora Stadium at 11am, or arrive early for Doggie Fashions on the Field! (10am) You will need to register and cost is $8 or $12 on the day. Money raised goes to the RSPCA - Alex
What is your vocation and how did you get started in your current role?
I am a newly elected Alderman with the Launceston City Council. Having been Promotions and Marketing Manager with The Examiner Newspaper for three and a half years, I returned from a Rotary Group Study Exchange program and knew that I wanted to work harder for the community. I also run a successful Drama School with over 120 students. What's your idea of a perfect holiday? I have had the good fortune of travelling to many different places but I love history, culture, architecture and the Arts. Europe. Long coat and very chilly. My perfect holiday destination would not have a beach or sand! What are some of your interests (outside of Rotary?!) I love theatre, travelling, food and wine and youth initiatives. I also love spending time with my friends. Who would you like to sit next to on a plane? I would love to sit next to India's Prime Minister. What is your favourite place in Launceston? The Princess Theatre, of course!
