The theme for May 2025 was ‘Parlour Games’, with attendees bringing a colourful array of classic indoor games for Show & Tell.
From vintage playing cards to intricate construction kits, the display sparked nostalgia and lively discussion.
Ron marked key May milestones, including 255 years since James Cook named the Glass Houses and Brisbane’s 200th anniversary.
Highlights included a Capsela set, Carrom board, and a Las Vegas medallion.
Despite some forgotten games, enthusiasm ran high as participants celebrated the joy of traditional family entertainment—echoing a time when parlour games ruled rainy days and long evenings.
