On 9th August at 3pm we held the Casal’s AGM. Despite (or because) of a small attendance, the meeting was very efficient! The accounts were approved and the new Committee was elected: President: Montse Becker, Vice-President: Peter Gerrand, Treasurer: Stewart King, Secretary: Albert Casellas, Committee Members: Josephine Canals, Mireia Perez, Victòria Gras, Carmen Godinson and Sara Bosch. Thank you for your support and confidence in us!
The Casal has organized a special event to take place on Saturday 12th September from 2pm to 4.30 pm at the National Gallery of Victoria (St Kilda Rd): the seminar “Salvador Dali and Catalonia”, in conjunction with the very popular exhibition “Salvador Dali – Liquid desire”. The seminar will begin with a brief introduction of the Casal by Peter Gerrand, a recital of an appropiate surrealist Catalan poem by Victòria Gras, followed by two illustrated lectures; “Salvador Dali and Catalan Culture” by Stewart King and “From Catalan Landscapess to Surrealist Masterpieces”, by Frank Heckes. Normal Cost $32 Adult, $29 concession; however note below.
The Casal Committee has negotiated 30 free entries. Those interested in attending should ring Peter Gerrand between 12 noon and 7 pm, any day between 28 August and 6 September. The free tickets will be allocated on a “first come, first served basis” to financial members of the Casal, with a maximum of 2 tickets per member or family.
As usual the Casal invites all its members to celebrate the national day of Catalonia – “La diada”. The celebration will take place on Sunday 13th September from 3 to 6 pm at “Ross House” 247-251 Flinders St- Melbourne. We hope that you can all come!
“Made in Catalonia film festival”: after the success of our first Film Festival last year, held in Melbourne alone, we will be ‘going national’ with our second “Made in Catalonia film festival” this year, presenting it in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, thanks to grants from the Spanish Ministry of Culture as well as from the Generalitat de Catalunya. In Melbourne, the Film Festival will take place on Friday 23, Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 of October at the State Library of Victoria’s Theatrette (La Trobe St entrance). Likely dates for Sydney are 20 and 21st November, and for Brisbane 31 October 2009 – these latter dates are yet to be confirmed. – More information in our next letter!
