- CONVERSATION ON THE COUCH
Please join Lauren (BASScare HomeCare Manager) on Wednesday 4 October at 10:30am in the Club Lounge for an insightful conversation and Q&A around the process and offerings of Home Care packages. Be it just forward planning for apartment cleaning or maybe someone to take you shopping, Lauren will be happy to take you through the steps involved and discuss fee structures. - HESTER CLASS
Hester Class turns up the Bollywood musical in the form of a romantic dramatization of a Jane Austin classic novel, in ‘Bride and Prejudice’. From the Director of Bend it like Beckham, this colourful tale sees the main characters circumnavigate between India, London and LA, all the time keeping distance between the tradition of arranged marriages. Screening for your enjoyment next Tuesday 3 October at 7:30pm.

IT’S MORE THAN COLLIWOBBLES AND THE OLD ROYS
So maybe AFL football is not your thing, you struggle to recall the colours of the Collingwood or Brisbane club guernseys, you don’t care what the difference is between a ball up and holding the ball, but you would be hard pressed not to be electrified by over 100,000 people all cheering at the same time. Footy fanatic and social butterfly Ann.S is throwing open her hospitality arms and asking you to join her in the Club Lounge this Saturday at 12:30pm for pre AFL Grand Final nibbles and drinks she is kindly providing for all the residents. Afterwards, take the short stroll to Hester Class to enjoy the match on the Big Screen, followed by post game coffee and cake plus a chuckle or two back in the club lounge.

THE TASTE OF CHANGE
The introduction of the Hester Canterbury Spring Menu is not the only new addition to the residents dinner table. To deliver a more consistent and refined presentation of the evening meals, we have sourced new dinner plates and bowls as the existing Hester Canterbury crockery was blending in with the mish-mash of Faversham House’s. The new crockery for the evening meals is easily defined with a unique colour and textured pattern and is for Hester Canterbury resident meal use only.
As we only purchased limited stock, it is imperative that if you receive an evening meal that you return the crockery, dirty or clean, to the Hester ground floor kitchen as soon as possible after use so the Faversham Chefs do not run short.
Also, so I am not chasing meal orders each week and sending through the orders to the Faversham Chefs late, delaying their stock orders, I have now changed the cut-off for orders to the Wednesday before by 3pm, but please note you can submit your order anytime before the cut-off.
THE LAUGHS ARE ON YOU
As this Friday 29 September is a public holiday (for some reason), the scheduled Funny Friday Matinee will not take place so I’m leaving you all in charge of finding your own laughs on the day. Lood Guck.
FOOTY FEVER FISH ‘N’ CHIP NIGHT
For those that have signed up for Fish ‘N’ Chip night this Thursday 28 September, make sure to scribble down in your social calendar to be present in the Dining Room at 6pm for a fresh fishy feast. B.Y.O drinks is highly recommended.
Have a fabulous week and take care.
