24.01.2022 As probably most of you know, K-CHS has been helping Richmond Players write a book of their 68 year history. The book will be a high quality, 328 page, hard-cover tome and it is now available to pre-order at a special pre-order price of $35. Duck over to the RP website and place an order if you'd like to secure a copy. Note they are using their normal ticket selling interface so you will be asked to 'book a ticket'. http://www.richmondplayers.com.au

21.01.2022 K-CHS is helping Richmond Players Inc to write a book of their history. It will be a hefty tome as they have been operating since 1952 and done around 250 productions in that time. Many of their members have stacks of material (programmes and pictures etc) but there a few plays that have nothing, so we are currently looking for any material that might be lurking in the area. Anyone with programmes or pictures of Richmond Players productions, please get in touch. Perhaps you or your children performed in something? BTW don't forget to vote in the NSW grants for the upgrade of the Richmond School of Arts lighting upgrade for the Players. See the Players FB page.

18.01.2022 It will come as no surprise to hear that we have decided to postpone our Pansy Line Tour which was to be on 4th April. The target date now is sometime in August if things are back to normal by then. Existing bookings can be held over or a refund is available. Pls let us know which you prefer.

18.01.2022 Don't forget our AGM this Monday at 19:00 at St David's Kurrajong Heights. Our guest speaker is talking on Stream Watch. Supper afterwards.

17.01.2022 We will be visiting the National Martime Museum at Darling Harbour on Tuesday 10th March. If you have been meaning to have a look, this is your chance. We will have our own submariner along to tell us all about the sub! Details here: https://www.kurrajonghistory.org.au/NMMTour.html

07.01.2022 Richmond Heritage Day was a great success followed by our 2019 Pansy Line Tour. We were blessed with fabulous weather on both days. The RFS turned on a top spread for lunch on Sunday and all our passengers seemed to enjoy the day. Several said they had lived hereabouts for 40+ years and still learnt a lot from the tour :-)

05.01.2022 We had a good day at the Kurrajong Public School Spring Fair today. Lots of people and it didn't rain as originally predicted.

02.01.2022 Our Pansy Tour this Saturday was fully booked but 4 places have just opened up. Get in quick if you are interested.
