MEETING

The Society’s first monthly meeting for 2026 will be on Thursday 12 February at 2pm
in the Kogarah School of Arts. It is a special event to announce the winners and present awards for the 2025 History Awards. Our 10 entrants are invited together with the judges who will give a report and other special guests. Come and hear what a fascinating range of topics were entered this year.

Visitors and new members are very welcome. Entry only $5.00 which includes our home cooked afternoon tea.  Inquiries to Gill 0439 667 843.

Carss Cottage Museum is open every Sunday from 1pm to 5pm. Bring your children, they love it and can do a quiz while they look – free entry for them, $5.00 adults, $2 students.
Our new exhibition, entitled What They Wore, focuses on trends in fashion of the early 20th century. There are so many lovely things packed away, some very fragile, and this exhibition is a great opportunity for them to be seen.

Also seen for the first time is our latest acquisition, an antique chaise, which has kindly been donated to the museum. This is on show in the cottage parlour.
