SUMMARY:Trivia-au-go-go
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled for the forseeable future due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hopefully it will be rescheduled later in the year. \nAndrew Lemon is once again putting us to the test. Join us for some hysterical historical trivia. Time to get competitive and pit yourself against all the other history buffs at the RHSV’s world-famous Trivia-au-go-go. \nPut together a table of friends or come along by yourself and join an RHSV table. \nThere are some great prizes and you will be fundraising for the RHSV at the same time. \nIt is a cash bar but you are more than welcome to bring your own food. \nThis event will be held in our Gallery Downstairs which is wheelchair accessible. \nA table will hold 6 – 8. \nTable members can book individually – you do not have to book a table all at once. During the booking process you’ll be asked which table you want to join so\, at that point\, just give us an individual’s name or organisation (or table name if you have already dreamt one up). \n

SUMMARY:Walking Port Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:There are many ways\, real and virtual\, to reflect on Anzac Day in Port Melbourne. \n\nExplore our Port Melbourne First World War Centenary site. Find out who enlisted from any Port street by typing the name of the street in the search box\, or read the interesting research under the stories tab.\nUse the City of Port Phillip’s On the Home Front self guided walking tour to visit the many sites of significance in Port Melbourne and surrounds from Princes Pier to the Gallipoli Lemnos Memorial.\n\nThrough focusing on just one street\, Heath St\, Christine Griffiths and Barb Mullen have given a deep insight on the impact of the war on one Port Melbourne street.  Their Heath St Anzac Day booklet can be accessed here. \nThe War Memorial around which we usually gather wasn’t Port Melbourne’s first war memorial. That distinction goes to the Women’s Welcome Home Band Rotunda\, gifted by the women welcomers to the City of Port Melbourne on 6 November 1918. Read more about the Rotunda here.  \nFollowing an energetic campaign and fundraising\, the Port Melbourne Council made the Excelsior Hall (cnr Bridge\, Princes and Station Sts) available as a gathering place for returned soldiers and sailors in 1919. The full story is here. \nThe siting and form of a fitting war memorial was the subject of debate over many years. Cr Crichton favoured the site outside the Fountain Inn (now the Cornerstone) whereas Cr Sinclair thought the newly reclaimed Edwards Park would be more suitable. In the end\, the pull of locating the Memorial within sight of the piers from which the troops embarked was agreed. \nIn an ironic twist\, the only Port Melbourne councillor to have a bust erected in his honour\, Cr Walter\, argued that Council funds should be used to support the more pressing needs of the living than a memorial. His view did not prevail. \nThe memorial appears to have been first used for a service in 1928. Read the foundation story of the Port Melbourne War Memorial here.\n
