Hi there! Thank you for your booking. Here's a few things you might like to know:

- Steve is on 0423 793887 or Frances on 0419 004762. Might be a good idea to have that number on your phone on the day.

- Boyd Community Hub is at 207 City Road, Southbank. It's about 1km walk from Flinders St station, and very near the City Rd/Kings Way tram stop on the 58 route. and the City Rd/Queens Bridge St tram stop on the 234 and 236 routes.

- There's free parking nearby on Sunday. Check the signs!

- We'll start at 10am. Please get there in good time to get settled.

- There are cafes nearby, but it's not the busiest of places on a Sunday so you may wish to bring your own lunch. There is a microwave.

- At the end of the day, about 4.30pm or so, if you'd care to join us we'll head to The Bells Hotel, 157 Moray St (about 600m away).

- Bring your own pen and notepad if you need one, as well as a copy of Ulysses (not necessary but a good idea). Here is a link to the Project Gutenberg online version: www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/4300.

- We're focusing on Nausicaa. Here's the text of that episode, together with a terrific introduction by Patrick Hastings from his book, The Guide to James Joyce's Ulysses (very presumptuous 'The,' that): https://bit.ly/Nausicaa_Bday.

- And here's a link to the superb RTE 1982 radio production of Ulysses, made to mark the centenary of Joyce's birth. It's a terrific way to get familiar with this episode (13), and indeed all of the book. https://www.rte.ie/culture/2023/0610/1146705-listen-ulysses-james-joyce-podcast/

- Any questions etc, please email Steve at steve.carey@11degrees.org.
