Royal Over-Seas League in Victoria

The ROSL is an organisation which was set up to bring together like-minded people, to foster friendship and understanding between Commonwealth peoples of different cultures and nationalities and to work for the good of humanity at large. ROSL in Victoria boasts a wide cross-section of society and all ages. League events are neither formal nor obligatory, but rather of a social nature and focus on a broad range of interests. These include theatre parties, celebratory dinners, receptions and musical events organised throughout the year.

 

Activities of the League in Victoria

As outlined above, the League organises functions of a social nature throughout the year. The Members are at present offered a wide choice of functions such as a trip to a winery where they will taste the cellar's selection, have lunch, and watch a game of royal tennis, as well as take time to stroll around or closely examine the gardens as their fancy takes them.

Vice-Presidents Jean Black, John Short and Jane Teasdale, Members of Council, Ladies and Gentlemen I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Victorian Branch of the Royal Over-Seas League covering the activities for 2018.
During the year we welcomed 43 new members.

(Firstly the President read a letter to Sir Anthony Figgis following Lady Figgis’s death and his response.)
NEW DIRECTOR-GENERAL: We were delighted to welcome the appointment of Dr. Diana Owen as the new Director-General succeeding Major General Roddy Porter MBE who served in that capacity from 2011-2017 and visited Australia with his wife Marianne in 2013.
Dr. Owen brings extensive experience of working in the not-for-profit sector, with the National Trust, and for the last ten years, as Chief Executive of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust (SBT) in Stratford-upon-Avon, a global hub for Shakespeare fans everywhere. Vice-President Jean Black and Council Member Barbara Cummings recently met Dr. Owen in London.
