Grand Spiegelhaus is coming. On Saturday Nov 6th we are holding a Grand Spiegelhaus this will be a special Night in honour of Viva la gong and the theatre being almost finished, we think it's time to show off all the hard work and let people see what is going to be one of the hottest venues in town. Yes we are opening the main theatre up at last. Show starts at 8pm with a second act at about 9.20 and a third act at 10.30. turn up after viva if you want and catch the 3rd show or stay all night and get your party on with us, we will have the usual tea and coffee as well as pumpkin soup and salsa at the bar but BYO everything else for a massive party, lots of old favorites and new acts its going to be huge. Reservations are essential to ensure a table by emailing bookings@phoenixtheatre.net.au as usual entry is free as we cannot charge the $15 ticket yet but not for long donations are always welcome and this time you can see what we've been fundraising for. Doors open at 7.30 and won't close till late

Hi Lemons,

Early next year Bush Lemons will be celebrating 15 years of walking! I think this calls for a bit of a celebration!!

I am hoping to organise a weekend celebration away at a venue that has both beds and allows camping, which isn't too far from the mountains, and may have accommodation for up to about 50. All past and present (and possibly even future) Lemons would be welcome, and the weekend would ideally include a main dinner and celebration, and maybe some walks, playing of sports, and be very social, friendly and inclusive of course.

If you can assist with any of the following, then I would be very pleased to hear from you:

* Join the group to organise the celebratory weekend. You would need to come along to a few meetings, and have the required time, energy and enthusiasm!

* Suggest a venue that you may have stayed at which has a variety of different accommodation, is private and has a common area/kitchen for our meals and celebration.

* May have expertise in setting up, or helping to set up, a Bush Lemons website.

* May be able to organise printing some Bush Lemons tshirts/caps or calendars for the occasion.

If you would like to get involved in this celebration which should be a lot of fun, then please send me an email so I can start to get things underway. It doesn't matter if you don't have any experience in doing any of the above, wishing to give back to Bush Lemons and have the enthusiasm required is the main criteria!

Cheers

Jocelyn
