Kilmore in the 1950’s Evening— and Appeal for Material

For our April meeting we are planning a discussion and talk based around ‘Kilmore in the 1950s’, which will be delivered by Brian Clancy. The 1950’s was a decade in which so much changed—the arrival of television, the Olympics, space flight, and the transition to electricity in the homes.

Our specific interest lies in the impact of these global events on the lives of the residents of Kilmore. Brian will also be looking at the changing streetscape of the town during the decade.

As part of this presentation we would like to hear from anyone who has interesting snippets from Kilmore in the 1950’s, or can bring along pictures, clothing or artefacts from the period that would be appropriate for a display.

This event will be held on the 4th of April at 7:30pm at the Old Post Office, 2 Powlett Street, and will be followed by supper and general discussion as usual.
