Program Coordinators: I hope you are all keeping warm and well – winter has certainly thrown some

Committee Members:

Graeme Carroll educational – I was particularly interested to learn about the histories and

Helen Trustrum event are in for an evening of fantastic food, fun and friendship. I’m looking
Wahyu Triwahyudi forward to it very much.

Shadows” will feature the Indonesian shadow puppeteer Dr Joko Susilo (University
