Hall Stories: Drop-in Sessions

Damian Callinan

Every hall has a story to tell, and we’ve heard that this one’s got a few cracking chapters.

We’re hosting a series of relaxed drop-in sessions where you’re invited to pop by, have a chat, have a cuppa, spill the tea, and share your memories of the hall. No speeches. No pressure. No microphone unless you grab one yourself.

Got a story about a dance that went off the rails? A meeting that changed everything? A character who always sat in the same seat? We want it.

Photos? Yes please. Old programs, newspaper clippings, trophies, costumes, mysterious hall paraphernalia found in the back of a cupboard? Absolutely. Bring the lot.

Stay five minutes or a little longer. Linger. Reminisce. Correct someone else’s version of events.

Can’t make it in person? Send your stories by email or good old-fashioned letter. We’ll happily read every word.
 

Because here’s the thing — every hall has a story to tell, and Damian Callinan is very happy to eavesdrop.

So drop in.
Have a chat.
Have a cuppa.
Spill the tea.

We’re all ears.
