Some readers find the President’s Newsletters are concerning and one of them has sent in some questions about the most recent one concerning the ongoing (and unsurprising) losses made by the Club. He says: Given the President has asked for comments and suggestions, mine are set out below. I am forwarding them to you as …
Now that the silly season’s well and truly over, it’s time to settle in and study the Celtic Club’s 2018 Annual Report with care and attention. Pretty, isn’t it? It should be – most of it is a tribute to Irish Australia and very little has anything to do with the Club itself. The few …

Helen Brazil was a very well known figure to members of the Celtic Club. The decision to ‘package her out’ after 17 years marks the end of an era. It was so important a decision that it even prompted one of the President’s scarce letters, telling us essentially that the Club couldn’t afford to keep …

Robert Clifford is the current Treasurer of the Celtic Club. We found that out when he turned up at the last AGM. Of course he resigned on 30.6.19! Another one who didn’t last very long. We know very little about him, but we can take it that he either knows nothing of the fate of the …
Older readers will no doubt recall the story of the Maguire Seven. After Paul Hill and Gerard Conlon were forced to sign false confessions, they were tortured into accusing other Irish living in London at the time. The Maguire family, except the youngest boy, were wrongfully convicted of terrorism as a result. Patrick Maguire was …
The current official website of the Celtic Club is a good indicator of the appallingly low levels of competence and dedication of those now ‘running’ the Club. Sean McKeon resigned as Treasurer in March, but his name is still shown there. Surely the current Treasurer is a little miffed? We’re here to help – his …

It’s not easy to vote for motions and discuss important questions facing the Club when you don’t know anything about the reasons for them. That’s why the Annual Report – with the financial information – should be sent out to all members in good time. Considering that the Club is now paying the son of …
These days many members just delete messages from their nonexistent club but the 19th September 2018 President’s update is worth reading in depth. The President’s update implies that the Committee has been beavering away perfecting its deal with Beulah, but he doesn’t give any exact dates. Shame really because there is more than a suspicion that …
As we should all know by now, the Celtic Club’s new home is at the Metropolitan Hotel, North Melbourne. Not a very happy home by the looks of it. We know it’s not open early for breakfast, but an enquiring member wondered what the Celtic Club after dark was doing. Not a whole lot really. …
Reliable sources indicate the Club is now operating at an annual loss of at least $700,000. And you were all told that selling the building would put you back into profit….. Not as true as many hoped The members have no idea where the money has gone. Why did it cost $400,000 just to move? …
