Hi all
It is Albera ST Schools 100th centenary .And they are having a large day to celebrate this. We have been sent 2 pics 1 is of the school class and 1 I believe is of the dancing school he attended at the theater Royal. The dancing teachers name is Miss Lola Smith if this helps. Now comes the hard part do any of you recognise Errol in these pics as to help us add to the information we can give the school as Errol was attending Albera St at this time. And as the teacher said he is the most famous person to attend the school . Love Genene.

Errol Flynn wins top billing in game to name inaugural Tasmanian Theatre Awards

TASMANIA’S new theatre awards have been christened The Errols, paying tribute to the state’s swashbuckling Hollywood star Errol Flynn.
Theatre Council of Tasmania chairman Rod Anderson announced the name, which was chosen via a public competition, on ABC Breakfast Radio this morning.
“My fellow judges and I were overwhelmed with the number of entries we received and were really impressed — not just with the level of interest shown — but the amount of thought that went into each of the 120-plus nominations,” Mr Anderson said.
Several people suggested The Errols as a potential name, leaving the judges to pick the competition winner out of a hat. Duncan Hall, from South Hobart, was selected and will receive two tickets an Errol-nominated show of his choice.
Designed to celebrate excellence in the performing arts throughout Tasmania, the inaugural Errols feature almost 30 award categories, open to local productions staged between February 1 this year and January 2015.
Judging has already started, with the first awards ceremony to be held next March.

Apr
The Errol Flynn Society of Tasmania is to support the younger drama students in the Hobart Eisteddfod with a cash prize for a period of ten years. The syllabus has been released and can be viewed at the address below. Have a look at page 44 (55 in right column) for the mention of the society. The society had some monies in deposit and wanted to support young drama students under 18 in the hope that our prize may help them to realise a dream and possibly go through to an acting career as did our most famous Tasmanian, Errol Flynn.

‘Errol Flynn the Seafarer’

The Seafarers’ Festival presents a special focus on
‘Errol Flynn the Seafarer’
The annual Seafarers’ Festival will celebrate the swashbuckling career of Errol Flynn in a jammed packed day on Sunday 27 October at the Bellerive Boardwalk.
Errol Flynn is much loved by Tasmanians for his work on the silver screen but he is not often recognised for his achievements as a seafarer. In his youth Errol Flynn was an avid sea goer with his father Theodore and in his early adult life he sailed to New Guinea aboard his beautiful yacht Sirocco. There he managed a tobacco plantation and a copper mine amongst other things before forging his career as an actor of wide renown.
The Sirocco, which has hosted many famous names in the heyday of Hollywood and has been a regular sight at top Mediterranean venues for decades, will be a centrepiece at this year’s Seafarers’ Festival. To read more about the Sirocco click here.
Supporting the glittering Hollywood theme, MC Ryk Goddard will bring all the elements of stage and water activities together with the panache of a Hollywood movie star. The cast from Big Monkey will present extracts from their performance of Robin Hood, there will be roving crusty pirates, and the University of Tasmania Fencing Society will present swashbuckling demonstrations.
There’s also a new water-sideshow-alley with the popular ‘dunk the pirate’, Fishcare fishing, ‘Fling a Fish’ and for the first time you can walk on water inside a fabulous water ball.
With over 40 stalls around the site you’ll find maritime and historic information intermingles with fine food stalls, a Moo Brew bar and a great stage program of music, dance and theatre. The Bellerive Yacht Club will hold a Bosuns Locker Sale and the promenade will be buzzing with a range of fine arts and craft stalls.
This year the popular Betta Milk Raft Challenge will be judged by special guests and Frank and Nikki and there will be great opportunities for Festival goers to get out on the water aboard the Lady Nelson or the Huon Paddle Boats.
A full program will be available at the Clarence City Council website soon so please check www.cc….au/seafarers for more information over coming days!
WHAT: Seafarers’ Festival
WHEN: Sunday 27 October from 10.30am to 4pm
WHO: The glamorous Ryk Goddard
The alluring Big Monkey theatre troupe
The daring Frank and Nikki
The simply stunning Sirocco

Errol Flynn’s Robin Hood boots for sale

Sep
Errol’s boots from Robin Hood go under the hammer this month? But are they? I looked at the boots and the picture of Errol wearing them and they are so different. Not just the color but also the position of the laces on the top of the foot plus the cut of the turn over at the top of the boot. Am I mistaken or does someone know a bit more of the boots? www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2416765/Errol-Flynns-iconic-Robin-Hood-boots-hammer-Sherwood.html?ito=feeds-newsxml…

Hi everyone I have received my invitation to buy this book about Theodore Thomson Flynn. I believe it will be very interesting as he had an interesting life. There is more known about him in Tassie than Errol as he worked a long time as an adult here. Love Genene.
