New merchandise waiting to be worn!

Posted by Tattersalls Club on Friday, November 20, 2020

Keeping up with the new fads in the fashion world can be difficult and somewhat confusing, lucky the team have all your athletic and outerwear fashion needs covered.

We first partnered up with Delfina swimwear to re-energize our swimwear offerings and range.

Our second move was partnering up with ISC and launching our female and male merchandise which includes exercise tops (both short and long-sleeved) puffer vests, polo shirts, running/training singlets, wet weather jackets and exercise shorts.

The exercise attire is made from a breathable lightweight material and is perfect for running a virtual marathon, as modelled by AD Manager Malcolm during the New York Marathon in Sydney challenge. The outerwear is designed to keep you warm (but still looking stylish).

For those who wish to pay homage to the older merchandise, we will continue to sell this for the remainder of the month at a discounted rate, with the new range also available to purchase now.

Feel free to pop into the Athletic Department to check out the new range.

October book club unravels an intricate web

Posted by Tattersalls Club on Friday, November 06, 2020

Tattersalls Book Club members reviewed Bernadine Evaristo’s book, Girl, Woman, Other; where the author examines the lives of 12 women who are inextricably linked by a fine thread. These women are mainly women of colour from different generations, faiths, sexuality, classes, politics and heritages.

Each complex character has a chapter and their lives overlap within the chapters. The book is about struggles but also love, joy, and imagination. Evaristo explores motherhood, sexuality, racism, betrayals, success and regret, which she does showing incredible insight into each woman’s life.

Book Club members agreed, overwhelmingly, the book was amazing and well worth reading. Everisto’s writing style is certainly different, with little or no punctuation, especially full stops which appear very rarely. However, after a few pages even the punctuation prefects amongst Book Club members forgot about that and enjoyed the wonderful reading experience.

In keeping with our three word description; twelve remarkable lives.

Next up we will be reading “You shouldn’t have joined…”, a memoir by Sir Peter Cosgrove and will meet via Zoom on Wednesday 25th November from 16:00 to 17:30.

Writer's Tears Irish Whisky, the perfect accompaniment to a complex novel

Posted by Tattersalls Club on Friday, November 06, 2020

November Whisky of the Month – Writers' Tears Irish Whiskey - reviewed by Committee Member and Book Club co-captain Bettina Pidcock.

I really enjoy settling into the sofa with my book and a little drink to warm me from the inside. It's interesting to muse on the thoughts of the writer of any book, particularly when it's a long and intricate tale, like the Book Club's last title: Girl, Woman, Other which traced the highs and lows of life for twelve British women of colour. Perhaps Bernadine Evaristo shed tears for her subjects; she painted an empathetic and rounded portrait of them that was truly deserving of the Booker Prize.

The whiskey provided a delicious and soothing companionship to the novel, which explored tales of immigration, education, gender identity, race relations and so much more. Writers' Tears Irish Whiskey was a great accompaniment to the triumphs and sorrows of each of the characters. While the book had many complexities, the whiskey was light with a pale honey hue and a sweet, fruity, almost maple syrup nose. It's wonderfully smooth and warming on the palate. I drank it neat and found it to have a very mellow finish. I can recommend it as a warming, soothing accompaniment to a good and complex read.

Thanks to Bettina for taking the time to review our Whisky of the Month!
