The guest speaker for the February night meeting is Peter Humphries. See below for a clue to his most interesting presentation!

Both the Ford Model T and upright pianos are made up of about 10,000 parts and they both had a significant impact on society. Peter Humphreys is a Director and part-owner of social enterprise Pianos Recycled (www.pianosrecycled.eco). Pianos Recycled have been creating alternatives to landfill for unwanted pianos since 2016. Once Australia’s most coveted possession, there are now at least 1,200 unwanted pianos in Victoria alone. In his presentation Peter will outline the journey of pianos in Australia, some of the challenges in trying to save pianos from landfill, and the creativity and innovation opportunities that exist to craft new economic and community value. Peter will also share some interesting stories about where and how pianos and the transport industry have met at the cross roads over the last 200 years.
