SUMMARY:Mud and Blood - WWI play by Meg McNena directed by Alice Bishop - Special Performance
DESCRIPTION:Mud and Blood\, Meg McNena’s compelling 80-minute\, six-actor play\, is about distinguished Australian general\, Harold ‘Pompey’ Elliott\, who led the Essendon Rifles and took most of them to WWI. \n \nThe tenacity of Australian men and women is shown in battle and at home. Timing in 2018 with Anzac and Armistice centenaries adds impact. Set 1914-1921\, it shows how Pompey Elliott and a soldier’s mother deal with his vow to look after ‘his boys’ in war as if they were his own. This vow\, driving the play’s drama\, was made at a farewell to troops a century ago at Essendon Town Hall\, now the Clocktower Centre\, where Mud and Blood will be centre-stage on Fri 31 August. Women’s efforts and struggles are also pivotal . Please share in your networks and newsletter this opportunity to see a story about local heroes by a Moonee Ponds writer. \nA brilliant cast and skilled production team is powerfully directed by Alice Bishop\, who has been nominated for a Green Room Award for best director. Writer and producer\, Meg McNena\, has an Amnesty International Award and others for writing; this is her sixth play staged. Darren Mort\, a lawyer like Pompey\,plays his complex character masterfully. Humour and songs intone the era. \nMud and Blood‚Äôs Melbourne premiere is at the Clocktower Centre\, Moonee Ponds at 12 noon on Friday 31 August with a Q&A and talk by Ross McMullin\, awarded historian\, biographer and author of two books on Pompey Elliott (included in the matinee price) and opening night is 8pm 31 August. \nElliott trained youth in the Essendon Rifles militia; three units of his 7th Battalion came from the Northern suburbs and one from the Western suburbs; they trained at Broadmeadows and went with him to Gallipoli\, Lone Pine\, Fromelles and trenches of The Somme\, where Elliott turned the outcome of WWI in the Allies favour. Pompey inspires as husband\, father\, brother\, friend\, leader\, veteran and senator – the soldier before and after war; the stalwart wife keeps the family going; the cost for Pompey in making this heartfelt but impossible promise and returning to unveil honour boards and memorials. \nWe want to share this significant history of world-changing times for the newly declared nation of Australia and to increase awareness of post-traumatic stress disorder. \nHere is the vox pop from our successful preview in Charlton\, where Pompey was born. \nClick here for more information

SUMMARY:Centenary of the Royal Australian Naval College at Osborne House.
DESCRIPTION:The Osborne Park Association Inc with the generous assistance of the RAN and the City of Greater Geelong proudly presents a Centenary event celebrating the foundation of the Royal Australian Naval College\, established at Osborne House\, Swinburne Street North Geelong in 1913.\nOn March 2nd at 10.30am the centenary program begins with a parade march comprising a guard contingent from HMAS Cerberus\, naval cadets\, the RAN Band\, plus serving and former Defence members. The march departs from the Vietnam Veterans memorial on the corner of Melbourne Road and Swinburne Street to Osborne House where official proceedings commence with an inspection of cadets by the Chief of Navy Vice Admiral Ray Griggs AO CSC RAN \nVice Admiral Peter Jones AO DSC RAN will deliver an address on the history of the RANC and Commander Australian Fleet Rear Admiral Tim Barrett AM CSC RAN will address the services of Navy personnel. Following presentations\, a plaque will be unveiled acknowledging Osborne House as Australia’s first Royal Australian Naval College.  At approximately midday The Tall Ship Enterprise will fire a canon salute from Corio Bay to mark the occasion. An exhibition of historic photographs and information panels will be on display within areas of Osborne House and both the Geelong Maritime Museum and the Vietnam Veterans Museum will be open from 1pm till 4pm Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday March 3rd. \nThe importance to Australia of the opening of the college at Osborne House on March 1st 1913 is indisputable and it is important we commemorate this centenary of national significance\, claiming Geelong’s rightful place in Navy history \nUntil 1913\, Navy Cadets were sent to England for Officer Training. The fledgling Australian Navy sought to have cadets trained at home so as not to lose their “Australianness” but the facility at Jervis Bay in NSW would not be completed for several years. A temporary facility was therefore investigated and Osborne House was selected to become the first Royal Australian Naval College. The first two intakes of Cadet Midshipmen as 13 year old boys [28 in each year] came to Geelong from all over Australia to commence their officer training. They transferred to Jervis Bay in 1915 and subsequently entered WW2. Several officers\, such as John Collins\, Harry Farncomb\, Hector Waller\, James Esdaile\, Norm Calder and Jack Newman to name but a few\, forged stellar careers in the navy and their subsequent endeavours\, and are acknowledged as eminent Australians. \nThis centenary event recognises 100 years of Navy service and sacrifice and marks a significant milestone for both Australia’s Navy and Geelong’s history. \nCheryl Scott:  OPA Event Coordinator \nContact:    0418324100 \nEast Wing РOsborne House\, Swinburne St\, North Geelong \nP.O.
