Noel Halford is in the process of organising two events for the members calendar.
1. Rotarians with partners and guests will have the opportunity to attend the Pharaoh Exhibition at the NGV on 23rd July.
Embark on a journey through time exploring the phenomenon of pharaoh, those all-powerful kings claiming divine origin who ruled ancient Egypt for thousands of years.
We are hoping to have a NGV Guide introduce key themes in the exhibition and the extraordinary visual culture of Ancient Egypt, including sculpture, architecture, jewellery and more.
Time Schedule to be confirmed.

11.00 a.m. Viewing of Exhibition

Cost: $38 or Concession $35.00 There may be a slightly higher charge to cover the cost of a Guide if available
For a group booking we require 10 people: Please pay $35 each to https://www.trybooking.com/CSQYF by 7th July so we can ensure the reduced price.
