Throughout history, travelling has been used as a way to display wealth, power and status, as well as a useful tool to control mighty subjects.

Today, we take a journey as a matter of course, not thinking much of a distance of a hundred kilometres or more. In the past it was very different as an Aristocrat had to take not only clothes, but food, furniture, cooking facilities, tents, and the like, not just for himself and family but his household as well.

In this talk, Andrew shows the many lavish and opulent accessories and modes of transport that were used by Monarchs and Aristocracy alike, to ease travel while on their seasonal “progress” to and from each other’s estates, and where diplomatic meetings turned into a contest of rivals to see who could outdo each other in the finest accommodation, jewels, silks, retinue and luggage train.

Berry Bowling Club Markets are held on the second Sunday of each month.

Kidtastic Time has joined up with Berry Bowling Club to create a unique new market.
 We try our hardest every month to only have ONE stall selling each type of product, so there is a great range of products and plenty of variety. Visitors can walk through the friendly, family-orientated markets and meet the stallholders selling their own products. We have many stallholders, both local and from further afield, who are very proud of their wares and love chatting to shoppers.

We also have live music and great food on offer, both inside the club and outside the club. There’s something for everyone. Once you have grabbed some yummo food you can relax in front of the live music or enjoy a jig or two!

We are a company who has had a lot to do with the South Coast over the many years and we decided that we wanted to say thank you for allowing us to be a part of the Shoalhaven community by giving the coast more to visit and more bargains to buy.
 You can never have too many markets in one place for the community to benefit from!!

Come along and say hello to all the stallholders. You will be surprised how they relate to you. Family-friendly that’s what we are!

Art Workshops at Berry will host the talented and energetic artist/teacher Jo Bertini, who will teach a 3 day workshop focusing on painting and sketching directly from nature.

This workshop is designed for artists to develop a visual language and a particular thinking about the genre of landscape painting. A preliminary approach will include use of sketch books, drawings, photography and small scale concept studies using each artist’s intuitive strengths as well as developing skill based techniques. This creative experimentation achieves a unique interpretation for each individual student to then pursue with confidence on a larger, more resolved scale.

Jo is a well-known artist who has exhibited her work for over 2 decades. She has also taught at tertiary institutes and at workshops around the country for many years. Jo has been a finalist in many prominent prizes including the Wynne, Sulman and Portia Geach.

Friday 16th August 10am – 4pm

Join us for an incredible night with The Rubens, who will be laying it down in the Production Shed at Crooked River Wines. An intimate setting, surrounded by beautiful oak barrels, wine vats and the most amazing tunes.

The Rubens are a five-piece alternative rock band originally from Menangle, New South Wales. The band comprises the three Margin brothers, Zaac, Sam and Elliott, and friends Scott Baldwin and William Zeglis. Their debut self-titled album The Rubens gained them domestic success with it reaching No. 3 on the ARIA Charts and being nominated for a J Award for Album of the Year.

In 2011, their debut single, “Lay It Down”, was voted number 57 in the Triple J Hottest 100. Their next single, “My Gun”, was nominated for Best Music Video at the 2012 ARIA Awards and was voted number 10 in the Triple J Hottest 100.

In May 2015, the band released the lead single from their second album, called “Hallelujah”. The album, Hoops, was released in August 2015. The follow-up single from the album, the title track “Hoops”, reached number 25 on the ARIA Singles Chart in 2015 and was voted number one in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2015 held on Australia Day 2016. After its success on the Hottest 100, the single re-entered the charts, reaching a new peak of number 9 on the ARIA Singles Chart in February 2016.

In June 2018, the band released their third studio album, Lo La Ru, which became their third to debut within the ARIA top 5.

Other incredible artists performing on the night are Milan Ring and Shady Nasty!

Like many women, Megan struggled for a large part of her career with balance, stress, overwork & the juggle of being a single mother. Mid 30’s burn-out led her to reassess & change every aspect of her life. She learnt that there was a simpler & more easeful way to be in the world. This is the essence of the work she does, helping women step into their power, on their own terms, their own way.

Megan’s book “Simple Soulful Sacred”  is a guidebook for the modern woman, who wants to create space in her life for more wellbeing, simplicity and joy.

In his dissertation on architecture, Leon Battista Alberti – the original ‘Renaissance man’ – wrote: ‘We shall therefore borrow all our rules for the fixing of proportions from the musicians’.

It is not surprising that the question of proportion should be an important theme in Alberti’s book, but how did the musicians get involved? It turns out that there is a mathematical link between visible proportions and audible proportions, or harmony, and that Renaissance architects were well aware of this link. They saw it as proof that their architecture could participate in the harmony of the whole cosmos. One of them, Filippo Brunelleschi, took the idea further in his invention of ‘linear perspective’ and thereby, incidentally, revolutionised western painting.

Colin Davies is an architect, a former editor of The Architects’ Journal and a regular contributor to architectural magazines world-wide. He was until recently Professor of Architectural Theory at London Metropolitan University. He has made numerous TV and radio appearances and written several books.
