Our next Club meeting is on Tuesday 18 April at Kooyong. It will have an Anzac theme and our guest speaker, Nick Richardson, will tell us the story of the Australian Rules footballers who became soldiers, the exhibition game they played in London in 1916, and the fate they met on the battlefields of World War I.
In keeping with the Anzac theme, we will raffle a copy of The Art Of Sacrifice by renowned Melbourne artist George Petrou OAM. George is a successful graphic designer and acclaimed portrait artist; he assists in supporting the interests and welfare of ex-servicemen and women, their families and dependents.
In June 2020 George was awarded an OAM for 'Services to the Visual Arts and to Veterans', and in the same year he released The Art Of Sacrifice – a haunting and poignant exploration of a spirit like no other: the Anzac Spirit.
George’s portraits proudly hang in museums in France, Government House Canberra, and a range of military institutions across Australia.
