ADFAS Brisbane River is now in its tenth year of lectures and provides a yearly programme of eight illustrated lectures given by six overseas and two Australian lecturers chosen for their communication skills and expert knowledge in their fields. Additionally three special interest events are held where topics are examined in more detail and three excursions are arranged to places of historic, cultural or artistic interest.
An annual membership fee of $155 provides access to the eight lectures, which include morning tea, and to the special Christmas Morning Tea following the Annual General Meeting. Our three special interest events are limited in attendee numbers and charged separately at $50 each event, the cost covering the lectures and morning or afternoon tea. Excursions are also limited in numbers and charged separately.
Our Bulletin is published twice annually in January and June and copies are available upon request. The lecture and special interest day meeting dates appear below.
New members are always welcome, please contact the Chairman for all enquiries.
