Lunch Series: Celtic Conversations with Robert Pascoe

​This regular lunch series will feature insights and an engaging presentation from a special guest speaker in our community, over a delicious catered set lunch and the opportunity to connect with fellow club members in a welcoming setting.

​This month’s Celtic Conversations features Robert Pascoe, President of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria, Dean Laureate and Professor Emeritus at Victoria University, and recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Australian Historical Association. Together with Dr. Chris McConville, he co-authors the Streets Beneath Our Feet series and leads urban walking tours exploring Melbourne’s hidden histories.

​In this talk, Robert Pascoe brings together two of his passions: immigrant history and Australian Rules football. He will explore how the arrival of working-class Irish-Australians in the formerly gentleman’s suburb of Richmond transformed the nature and significance of its football club, with lasting consequences for the history and culture of the Richmond Football Club.

​Your ticket price includes presentation and insights from our guest speaker and a catered two course set lunch prepared by Chef Dargan and the Wild Geese team.
