A bit of 888 Christmas Cheer
December 5, 2023 @ 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Free – $10Hear ye, hear ye! In the year of our Lord 1856, the valiant 8 hours movement didst commence in the noble lands of Victoria. The gallant Eight Hours League did champion the cause of an eight-hour day: eight hours for labour, eight hours for rest, and eight hours for pursuits of recreation and enlightenment.
In keeping with this noble tradition, a festive gathering of mirth and cheer is nigh, courtesy of the 888 Co-operative Causeway. Pray, join us for a merry draught and savoury cheesy victuals upon your arrival, to kindle a jovial Christmas spirit (and yea, even co-operator grinches are heartily welcomed!).
In a noble endeavour, we shall hold a raffle most splendid, supporting our Kelvin Club and the City of Melbourne, as part of their inaugural ‘Make Room’ initiative to combat homelessness in the Melbourne CBD. Bring heart and hand and join our convivial assembly to aid this righteous cause. The prize? Two bottles of the esteemed Four Pillars Gin!
Mark well the hour: from the sixth to the eighth post meridiem at the esteemed Kelvin Club, located at 14-30 Melbourne Place. Let it be known that reservations on the electrickery online booking page are a necessity for this grand convocation.
A modest contribution is requested: $10 for the passionate and $5 for those with concession. Do join us for an evening of communal joy, celebration, and the chance to contribute to a cause most worthy!
