Our combined Music and Storytelling evening ZOOM was a success. It was
lovely to see people checking in from across Victoria and as far away as
South Australia.
We're planning to meet again on Friday May 15.
Details to come closer to the date.
So start thinking about a story to share; 6- 7 mins
seems a good length for zoom.
If you don't have a story, we're happy to
listen to a tale of your life in iso or hear about work in progress. On Friday we enjoyed hearing about Lily-Anne's chickens and we got to meet Biscuit, a rather sweet fluffball.
Let's stay connected and keep the stories alive!

AN
INVITATION
We’re mastering the art of ZOOM

Greg Jenkins (Open Stage) invite you to a special one-off combined Storytelling
and Music ZOOM evening.
Greg hosts Newport Open Stage – a chalkboard

co-ordinates the storytelling wing of the Club. Following this event, they will return to running their separate evenings with confidence and
ZOOM flair!
DATE: Friday 17th April
TIME:
7.30 – 8.45 (we will offer to extend the time for people who still have
energy to share and chat however the ‘formalities’ will be 75 minutes).
THE VIRTUAL CHALK BOARD
Jackie and Greg will have a space for about 7 musicians and 5 storytellers
·
Musicians have a max of 4 minutes to introduce and share
·
Storytellers/spoken word people have 6 minutes max

And your hosts have a gong!
When
