9. GENERAL BUSINESS
9.1 There is to be a separate meeting about Australia Day, but it is proposed to have the same structure as last year. Jan and Ros will get together and discuss. Want to open the Shearer’s Quarters on Australia Day as well. Plan to ask Ray to open it. Need to source a plaque and also to research the story of the quarters – they were 100 years old last year. Potentially inviting people who previously lived there. Heather is to create a list of those who should be informed and invited. Music is to be provided by Doug again, and Jan has someone in mind to come instead of the bush poet. The branding is not going to happen and there will be whip plaiting demonstrations. Perhaps in the future there could be Carol’s by Candlelight/concert’s from there – musicians on the verandah and people on the lawn.

9.8 Darryl discussed the Chamber of Commerce idea with business people in the town, and plans to run a meeting separately to discuss the ideas.
9.9 Letter from Maree Cameron apologizing
for not being present at the Community meeting on November 24. Her suggestions included better organization
and support of the volunteers for the Community Centre, and better signage so
people realize it is open over the weekend.
She also wishes for more promotion of the art in the Cultural
Centre. The need for more signage is to
be suggested to the most appropriate Councillor when
they visit.
9.10 Peter Ireland has discussed keeping the mower in the Lions Shed with Annette Purcival. This is fine, but we cannot have a key and will have to get it off Arthur when we need it.
9.11 Ros Balston moved that we start an account at Luck Ford for fuel for the mower, seconded by Violy CARRIED.
9.12 Darcy moved that we keep a 2-3L tin to keep fuel in, seconded by Ian. Not carried.
Rather, the mower is to be refuelled after each use eliminating the need to store fuel.
10. CLOSE—As there was no further business the Chairman closed the meeting at 8.55 pm.
The next meeting will be held Monday 12th January 2009, At the Community Centre.
