Welcome new committee members: President Ron Stewart, Vice President Rex Glover, Secretary Judith Glover, Treasurer Ross Taylor, committee members Lesley Turner, Jan Winn, Jenni Robbins, Jenny Little & Margaret Munright. Terry Munright remains Public Officer. Many thanks to the previous committee for the time and dedication given to making our Group a success. Bill Richard’s DVD and talk on his flying experiences in Lancasters during WW2 was very enthralling and gave us a different aspect of the war. Trevor Cook spoke on the development of a community centre and museum. This is a project in conjunction with the Great Lakes Council and would see our Group, CTC and Myall Historical Society having a place to call home. Trevor, Hist.Soc. Lyn Reid, CTC and Terry Munright, Family Res. Group are in talks with GLCouncil and Terry will keep us informed of developments. The AGM raffle of a digital picture frame was won by Tania. It’s nice to see her up and at em again and making a speedy recovery. Congrats. Lesley and Harry Turner on the birth of granddaughter Mia. A new little bud on the family tree.
