Photograph, Tuesday night dance at the Club, c 1960s

Historical information

Dances were important social events which the Ithacan Philanthropic Society regularly held in the club rooms on Tuesday evenings. Picture dancing in the foreground are Poppy Kostos and Tony Servos.

Significance

In the 1960s dances were held at the clubrooms on Tuesday evenings as the Victoria Market was closed on Wednesdays. As many of the Ithacan Greeks were either stall holders or had fruit shops the late wholesale trading morning on these days allowed them to have a sleep in.
