The Orchestral Society of the Young Men's Christian Association exists for the uplift of Bendigo through the agency of music. In addition to this it dedicates the whole of its profits to the extension of Christ's work among Boys. Surely this two-fold object is sufficient to warrant a large number of subscribers, and yet we regret to say we find it increasingly difficult to finance the Society, and our Association, in one to the greatest provincial cities in Australia. We would like to think that it is only sufficient to mention this matter in order to call for an immediate demand for subscribers tickets for our Orchestral Society; in order to remove the 'Damoclesian sword' of finance which perpetually suspended above our heads, and thereby insure a continuance of our Orchestral Society, and the permanence of out Association, which is in business for the men and boys of this fair City. Subscriber's Tickets may be purchased for 1 pound, 1 shilling, which permits the bearer to book seats for each Tree Concerts. These tickets are obtainable at any period during the year.

From TROVE - the Bendigo Independent Newspaper 19 Mar 1906 - Page 3 George Lansell was born in the old-fashioned Kentish village of Margate, England, in 1823. He was the eldest son of Mr. Thomas Lansell, a grocer and tab-low chandler, a sensible, sound businessman, a characteristic Kent man. When14 years of age young George Lansell lefschool and assisted his father in the grocery business. He grew into manhood, and gained a thorough acquaintance with the soap and candle factory work. When he was 29 years of age his younger brother, Wootton Lansell, who was an old and respected resident of Bendigo, and who as a boy had taken to a sea-faring Life, but had left it and settled in Australia, wrote home to Margate and advised some of his brothers to follow him. The valuable experience he had gained and the glowing colors in which he pictured Australia Felix, had its influence on his brothers George and William, and they made up their minds to join Wootton In 1853Fortuna - Research on the Lansell Family History This item contains the following documents: 11217.56a Research on the former German town of Schmiedeberg - request for information from the Bendigo Library for Rodney Ruff 11217.56b Extracts from the "Digger - Pioneer Index, Victoria 1836-1888.
