Twilight Talks – Season 2 Connections to War from a Ballarat Perspective: Feeling the Battlefield

Twilight Talks have been held at the Ballarat Mechanics Institute since 2001, providing a great opportunity to hear some fantastic speakers and meet up with friends over drinks.

Participants arrive at the Humffray Room from 5:00pm for drinks and conversation, followed by a 30 to 40 minute talk commencing at 5:30pm.

Feeling the Battlefield Spirits

Sometimes in life, a seemingly inconsequential event can, without us realising it, nudge our life along a new and exciting pathway.

This talk will look at how such a fortuitous meeting, in Turkey, between a Ballarat man and a Belgian union official, triggered by a piece of music by Scottish, now Australian singer–song writer, Eric Bogle, would positively touch the lives of many Ballarat people and many more people across Australia.

Speakers: Garry Snowden, Marion Snowden & Rene Degryse.

The BMI appreciates the support received from the Community Bank Buninyong for the staging of Twilight Talks
