WHAT'S ON @ FOBL

We gather in the Balmain Town Hall Small Meeting room. A light supper is served after each event and audience questions.
FOBL greatly appreciates the time generously given by our speakers to entertain and enlighten us as well as supporting our fund raising efforts.

The Covid 19 pandemic restrictions have forced the FOBL committee to postpone planned program of events for 2020. It is hoped that events will return in the Town Hall Small Meeting Room with reduced numbers for social distancing, and with all health measures required or advised by the NSW Government in 2021.

Michelle’s book, Her Kind of Luck, a work of imaginative biography and memoir, is subtitled A violin prodigy. A Guinness-World-Record Holder. A suspected spy. A grandmother ... so you can see that Michelle had an intriguing subject to write about. Meticulously researched and told with great heart, this is the story of Shan-Yi’s unparalleled life and the inspiration it afforded Michelle – exactly when she needed it the most.
