Parnell Journal issue 6 is due for release on 27th October with more great stories of people and places connected to Parnell.  The launch will take place at 6.30pm, with drinks from 6.00pm, at the Parnell Library and we hope to see you there!  Please email parnell.library@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz to register your place at the event.

The theme for our celebration is Shakespeare’s 400th anniversary so it is fitting that the feature story in issue six is about the Parnell Shakespeare Club, founded in 1883.  We are delighted that our guest speaker will be Dr Miles Gregory, founder and artistic director of the Pop-up Globe Theatre Company which enjoyed a hugely successful season in Auckland earlier this year.  An actor will also perform a monologue from Shakespeare.

The Parnell Journals and the commemorative Parnell Books make great gifts and are available at Parnell Paper Plus, the White Heron Dairy opposite the Rose Gardens, or by contacting Sue on 09 846 7661, 022 647 5155 or email andreassensue@gmail.com for any queries.
