We're closing our rooms for the holidays, but you can still keep up with us over the summer break.

The Society will be closed for our summer break from Friday 5 December 2025 until Monday 2 February 2026.

In the meantime, you can keep up with all our news, stories and local history snippets both here and on our Facebook page - and if you're a current member, our Summer edition of the Journal will soon be in your mailbox (or inbox).

You can also continue to contact us

• by sending us an email,
• dropping us a Facebook message, or
• leaving us a phone message on (03) 9553 8650.

Messages will be checked at regular intervals.

Wishing all of our friends in Bayside and beyond a safe and happy holiday season!
