Come Along and Celebrate our 50th birthday!

Saturday 22 November at 2.00pm, Kiama Library Auditorium

$3 members and $5 non-members includes afternoon tea/or a glass of wine

The historical society was established in 1975, so come along and celebrate at our 50th birthday party! Tony will launch his new book Celebrating history, defending heritage: fifty years of Kiama Historical Society. The book brings to life why the Society was established and how we fought hard to win control of the Pilot’s Cottage which was threatened with demolition or being turned into a fast food takeaway.

The Society has long fought to protect the heritage of Kiama and surrounding areas, defending our built and natural environment. We have had many successes, sometimes by working behind the scenes and other times protesting loudly.

Hear how the Society has brought history to life, from fashion parades to costumed re-enactments. And after 50 years we remain one of the largest and most vibrant voluntary organisations on the south coast. Something to celebrate.

Speaking of celebrations, two more dates for your diary:
