New members were warmly welcomed to the Glebe Society at the Harold Park Hotel on July 22, a chilly evening. Introductions and reconnections were made over drinks, then eating and more drinking around tables where the challenges began!

An intriguing list of statements about the Bays Precinct – true and false –- challenged everyone to pick the lies. The many veterans of Glebe demonstrated an incredible depth of knowledge about the history, local characters, changes over the centuries, and future plans for this area on our doorstep. Some new members seemed astounded at this level of detailed knowledge displayed, and the enthusiasm for challenging all comers to verify diverse facts and figures. Others of us just sat back and enjoyed a drink while taking in the spectacle.
