Bayside Literary Festival The final Fellowship event for this Rotary year was an
notice and details on Page 4 evening at the theatre. Thirty one members and partners
attended the CLOC Musical Theatre production of Strictly
Ballroom. Prior to that 26 had dinner at the QUAN 88 Viet-
namese restaurant.
CLOC Musical Theatre is one of Victoria’s largest and
most successful non-professional music theatre compa-
nies. Established in 1964, CLOC commenced performing
in church halls and on school stages prior to moving to the
Alexander Theatre at Monash University with its 500 seat
auditorium. After performing for 38 years at the Alexander
Theatre, in 2010 CLOC relocated to its current perfor-
mance venue – the historical 783 seat ‘The National Thea-
tre Melbourne’ in St Kilda.
The night was another well organised and extremely en-
joyable event from Fellowship Event lady extraordinaire
Meagan.
Well done on your year as Fellowship organiser.

Snow on Lake Bled,
Slovenia, makes the
scene look like some-
thing out of a fairy
tale. A functioning
church stands on the
small island in the
middle of the lake, as
it has since the late
17th century.
