Martin prepared a special CATHS leaflet and a large display which had lots of information and graphics about
the theatre history of the Tivoli Place precinct, the old Opera House, Cinematographe, Tivoli, Bijou, Gaiety,
Lyceum and Grosvenor theatres, the Roma Cinema and the "Soldiers of the Cross" presentation at the Mel-
bourne Town Hall in 1901. The highlight of the festival was when "The Tivoli Dancers" were reunited for a
special dance peformance on the Fringe Backyard Stage!

"Making The Most Of Life" Expo - Caulfield Racecourse, September 30th, 1997.
Although this event has operated for several years, this was the first time CATHS-V has been asked to participate.
Aimed at our senior citizens, one hundred organizations took part and subjects ranged from sporting clubs to
handcrafts, community social activities, radio, winemaking, painting, concert parties and for the adventurous,
gliding! Something for everyone, indeed.

Our Events Co-Ordinators - Brian and Wally

In a CATHS-V team effort, Fred Page loaned some excellent theatrical nostalgia items, Martin Powell produced
our logo on poster size paper and our display board was professionally arranged by Concetta Raffa. Wally
Perkins, Brian Miller and Concetta manned the booth on the day and well over one hundred membership
applications were distributed. The estimated attendance was 10,000 overall and a number of visitors enjoyed a
nostalgic chat with our members. As the famous British T.V. puppet characters Wallace and Gromit say, a grand
day out! We have accepted an invitation to register for the 1998 Expo.
