Conference
Our Conference will be held from July 13 to 15 on the Central Coast although the venue is yet to be confirmed. We are aiming to conduct one of our introductory courses in Gosford in June (tba) to encourage local participation in this event and raise its profile.
Advanced Courses
The Secretary is hoping to conduct two advanced courses at Henry George House. One is likely to be held in August and the other in November. They will be on successive Fridays and held during the day only. The courses will be called Readings in the Philosophy of Henry George. They will provoke high degree of thoughtfulness and reflection on the part of involved participants. The courses are targeted at existing members to further their understanding of Henry George.
Film Nights
As an experiment this year we will have some film nights. The films chosen so far are entertaining and have relevance to contemporary economic problems. The film nights scheduled so far are Friday evening March 16 when we will screen ‘The Inside Job’ (a film about the players in the Global Financial Crisis) and Friday evening June 15 when we will screen ‘The End of Poverty’ (about the causes and cures for Third World poverty) the films will be followed by supper and discussion of the subject matter presented. Seminars
Our Seminars have proved to be very effective introductions to what our association is all about particularly for people who may not have found time to do our courses. The topics are diverse, hopefully provocative, and usually related to issues stemming from Henry George’s philosophy. For example, the first seminar (February 12) by Sid Samar will look at the concept of private property.
All except one of our seminars in 2012 falls on a Sunday. The exception falls on a Saturday, March 24 and will take the form of The W.A. Dowe Memorial Lecture. Most members will be aware that our library is named also in his honour. Arthur Dowe was a long time teacher and secretary within the movement. This lecture will be delivered by the Secretary of the ACT Branch of the Association, Ron Johnson. Ron’s topic will be The ACT and the Land Rent Scheme. As is usual for our seminars there will be time for questions and discussion as well as refreshments. All our seminars are due to start at 2pm and they usually finish by about 4pm. All are held in Henry George House. These are the dates of our seminars this year. February 12, March 24*, April 15, May 13, August 12, September 9, October 14. * This is the only Saturday Seminar.
