On the third Friday of the month we meet from 12 o’clock onwards at the Concordia Club to enjoy a tasty meal with compatriots. Tables are reserved for us near the wooden sculpture of William Tell, and we order and pay for food and drinks individually. Those who are keen could play a game of Jass. My set of cards is always with me on the day! All ages are welcome at the lunch.
The Concordia Club is conveniently located across the road from Tempe Railway Station! You may want to use your Opal card.

The Swiss Readers meet at 10 am, on the third Friday of the month, at the Concordia Club, Tempe, under the guidance of Bettina Boss and Elisabeth Roth (pictured left). The reading and discussion is often followed by a shared casual lunch with other members of the Swiss Community Care Society.
Recent books, by Swiss authors, that the group has read and discussed were: Finsteres Glueck by Lukas Hartmann, and Fräulein Matter verliebt sich by Nadine Hostettler.
In February 2024 the group began reading another book by Lukas Hartmann,
Bis ans Ende der Meere. This is the story of the Swiss artist Johann Webber, who in 1777 accompanied Captain James Cook on his third and final expedition to the South Seas.
Why not join this welcoming group. You don't need your own copy of the book as several copies are available to pass around. While the book is written in standard German, it is discussed in Schwytzerduetsch and/or English depending on the speaker's preference. You can join the group at any time. Please contact Elizabeth Roth on 9669 1749 or Bettina Boss on 0466 979 460 if you'd like more information.
Booking details will be sent out a few weeks before the event. If you haven't already done so, please give us your email address and we will send you the details. It's worth becoming a member, as we subsidise these events and excursions. Non-members have to pay full price.
