Entertainments Meetings

Entertainments Meetings are held on the 4th Thursday of each month from January to November at the:
Kaleide Theatre
RMIT Union Building
360 Swanston Street
Melbourne

The December meeting is held on the second Tuesday of December at the same venue.
Some parking is available in A’beckett Street, but this venue is less than 200 meters from Melbourne Central Station and readily accessible to most city tram routes.

We also aim to hold one Entertainments Meeting in a regional centre per year. This meeting is usually on a Saturday in late February. Details will be included in the Members Newsletter and on the Website.

Meetings begin at 8.00pm with ARHS Sales operating from 7.30pm

Supper is available for a charge of $1.00 at Interval.

The Entertainments Committee attempts to organize a balanced program of speakers on Historical Items, Tourist Railways, key players from within the railway industry, Film nights and other rail associated topics.

In addition we have a series of occasional short items, including, Items of interest from our Archives, Railway Trivia quizzes, Where and What is it?, News of current happenings, etc. We aim to extend this program as time progresses.

We also conduct the monthly Photographic, Slide and Print Competitions at Entertainment Meetings

Details of speakers and the topics for the slide and print competitions can be found in the members newsletter.

Members and their partners from all Divisions of ARHS can attend for free, but visitors are requested to make a $5.00 donation.
