A Message from President Peter
Welcome to my first newsletter as President for 2020-2021.
I consider this a great privilege and one I will endeavour to uphold as did our past President, Cherry Robinson, with the assistance of a dedicated committee and members.
Welcome also to our new committee members, Terry Stewart (Vice President), Christine McGurgan (Tours), Jan Staniland (Guest Speakers) and Geoff Jones (Newsletters).
After our AGM we enjoyed an interesting presentation by our own Hastings Pawsey who gave a very illuminating talk on the “Blinking Light” and local history of the area.
This time last year our focus was on obtaining a venue to hold our monthly meetings, finally resolved with the kind offer by the Uniting Church to continue to use the well equipped and functional assembly hall.
This year however, we are faced with a much larger dilemma, the Coronavirus, and how to safeguard ourselves and our families from this continuing threat. This concern will impact on our meeting schedules and some of our activities.
Please be advised that the April general meeting has been cancelled following a committee determination and in accordance with the Government’s Health Regulations.
I will keep you informed of any further developments.
Warm Regards, Peter
