9. GENERAL BUSINESS
9.1 President Ros reported that Ev. Bradley had arranged another visit of “oldies” from Taralga for morning tea at the cottage. They had an enjoyable outing.
9.2 The channel 7 Sunrise weather team broadcast their program from the cottage, as they preferred the site to Lions Park. Lions served over 500 sausages for breakfast. Altogether a successful morning
9.3 Ian Wassell is ready to move in the cottage. A working bee was held to move the 5 bottle trees from the fence line to other positions in the grounds. Peter Ireland and his backhoe made this look easy. The irrigation solenoid controls were also moved to make way for the new pavers. The digging up of the power line was not on the agenda.
9.4 It was resolved to hold a morning tea at the Library on the 23rd. May commencing at 2.30. This is for members and volunteers to acquaint them with new forms to be filled out upon receiving any donations for possible exhibits. This will help us maintain control of exhibits and prevent any ownership problems that could arise in the future.
9.5 President Ros is to contact Vicki Warden to arrange the next workshop meeting.
9.6 It was reported that the majority of tourists fail to stop at the information centre. The suggestion was made that the present information signage is to close to the centre, they have past it when they read it, signs at the corner of High & Jimbour Sts. stating “I next right” and High & Dalby Sts. “I next Left” would be more appropriate. This will be taken up with Council.
9.7 It was resolved to leave the list of places on the Heritage Trail List intact. It was felt that a glossy brochure should be produced and President Ros is to contact Cassy Skinner for ideas re costs and artwork. Doug Henning is also to be contacted.
9.8 President Ros reported that Michael Wood is to look at the lamps with a view to changing them over to 240W application.
