The Board of the Australian Croatian Club hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. With the new year now upon us, just a reminder that 2011 memberships are due for renewal (prices remain unchanged at $15 voting and $6 social). With 2011 looking set to be another huge year at the Club, renewing your membership is the best way not to miss out on any of the excitement.
Also just a reminder the Club re-opens for trading this Friday from 12:30pm with the kitchen open from 6pm.
In a major financial and morale boost for the Australian Croatian Club in Canberra, it has once again secured ACT Government support for its Hrvatska Fešta 2011. As per last year’s event, the 18-20 March 2011 Fešta will be a celebration of the Croatian community and its significant contribution to the Canberra and Queanbeyan region. The increased funding, paid under the ACT Government’s Multicultural Grants Program, will assist the club with some of the event’s administrative costs and should provide great moral support to all the volunteers who will play their part in putting together one unforgettable weekend in the Nation’s Capital. The three day event really is shaping up rather nicely. With not only the legendary Major Minor and local favourite’s HFS Croatia returning, but Sydney band Metak supporting Major Minor on the Friday night and Sydney Kolo Group Vukovar making a welcome return to Canberra for the Saturday night Zabava. A Club spokesman noted “… there’s plenty of excitement around the Club at the moment, with Prva Liga set to rock New Year’s Eve, further exciting announcements regarding the Fešta, a record number of memberships in 2010 and due to the great Croatian style meals, the Friday nights Bistro going from strength to strength”. 15 December 2010 - ACT Government on board for Hrvatska Fešta 2011
With the local community jumping on the bandwagon, little wonder then the ACT Government has jumped on too!!
