On Saturday 29 June, 2013 the ACT Storytellers Guild held
their annual Room in June evening of stories and music at Curtin Uniting Church
Hall.
Approximately 50 guests attended, warmed and mellowed by Tom's
aromatic mulled wine. At interval guests were treated to a buffet of a wide
selection of yummy treats provided by the Guild Committee.
The program this year included short stories from the Canberra centenary celebration storytelling program held
in Commonwealth Park
in March this year, giving the audience a glimpse of yesteryear from Canberra 's beginnings, through to the recent Canberra Elizabeth
After supper the audience was entertained by Brian's
somewhat disturbing traditional Inuit Story; Cherie's at times unsettling (the
vivid description of his bride) English Folk
Tale about the marriage of Sir Gawain; Eric's clever "play"
from The Sentimental Bloke; and Ros's
account of the challenges of a "wild child" aunt. Ros finished the
evening's program with an audience-participation performance about The Raiders
humble beginnings to their development into a not-so-humble winning machine.
A special thank you to The McGurgans, whose music
contributed significantly to the night's entertainment and rounded out the
evening beautifully.
