The Powerlink Plaque we received is to be mounted on a rock at the cottage.

 

It was discussed that a memorial be placed for Vince Scouller at the cottage and a ceremony held at the next Australia Day Celebrations. Sister Mary moved that Betty will approach Noel Crowler about making a timber plaque for Vince, seconded by Doreen Beard CARRIED

 

Darcy suggested that railings be placed to make a walkway through the cottage to prevent people from entering rooms or touching things unnecessarily and hopefully this may prevent some thefts. Little gates can be made so that volunteers can still have access as required. Darcy is willing to cut the palings and Peter Ireland moved that this would be a good idea, seconded by Ian Gall CARRIED

 

Ian from the Police would like a letter to state who owns the cottage, he needs it for the court proceedings against the people that were caught for stealing, Darryl to contact Ian regarding this.
