Harvest Picnic 08

Published on Sunday, 03 July 2011 16:38 |

And while you have your diaries out, mark in Sunday 9th March, 10am-5pm for the Harvest Picnic.

This is an annual event in which almost nothing happens.

It’s held down at the BBQ area between Fairfield Amphitheatre and Fairfield Boathouse in Fairfield.

Everyone is invited to come and just spend the day chilling out, eating, chatting and watching the world go by.

I’ve found it to be a good chance to reflect over the year that’s passed and all the things I have to be grateful for.

BYO food and friends to share.

There’s no entertainment provided, so introduce yourself to whoever you don’t know and get chatting, or bring musical instruments to play at the amphitheatre. Or alternatively money for high tea at the Teahouse or for boating on the Yarra.

If someone hasn’t been invited, it’s because of an oversight. Everyone’s welcome. And it’s free.

Ask me for more details if you’d like to come. I’ll be there all day.

Good wine, cheese, meat, desserts. (Yes, that’s enough to keep me there all day.)

Wink at the sky,
Eugene*

Surprise win for Russell

Published on Sunday, 03 July 2011 16:37 |

DIPLOMA of Entertainment graduate Russell Lloyd said it was “a bit of a surprise” winning the University of Ballarat’s Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Excellence.

“It was quite exciting, especially for a TAFE student to receive it,” Mr Lloyd said.

Mr Lloyd received the Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Excel lence at yesterday’s graduation ceremony for Arts Academy and School of Behavioral Social Sciences and Humanities students at the University of Ballarat’s Founders Hall.

The award is given each year to the student selected by staff as the best all-round graduating student, combining academic standing and a commitment to some other aspect of student life.
As part of his two-year course, Mr Lloyd assisted with sound, lighting and audio-visual technology at more than 10 univer sity events each year.

On top of this, the 20-year-old also undertook IT work at his Victoria St residence, assisted with the weekly services at the York St Church of Christ, and toured as a sound and light technician with Ballarat band Rhinosaurus.
