Save the Randwick Literary Institute

Sunday 9 March: Rally to defend the Randwick Literary Institute: 

I’ve been attending a Memoir Group organised by Beth Yahp that meets in this rustic old building in Randwick. Begun in 1913 and still running today, the RLI was built and owned by the community as a space for education, recreation and mutual support. It was handed over to the state government for safe keeping as a Crown Reserve in 2002. The Randwick Literary Institute hosts 74 community user groups every week and has 2000 regular users. Its much-loved manager, Marian MacIntosh recently had her job terminated and the NSW Department of Lands is not saying what the RLI’s future is. With ‘public asset sales’ the order of the day, users and friends are fighting to save the RLI’s original and continuing purpose – to serve the community at affordable prices.
