Business arising:
Ros sent away information
about the ag force
breakfast, and also rang a finance person in the Council to ask their
opinion. The form has been filled out
and returned to Ag Force. The money has
been paid, it is just following up paperwork.
Vicki Warden has sent through
information about a Heritage Grant, which Ros has applied for. In this grant, we applied for approximately
$8000 worth of equipment for the display in the Shearer’s Quarters. This includes money for 2 mannequins, a laptop
and software, MOSAIC program, 4 mobile pinboards, A3
laminator, safety guillotine, steel rulers, printer, cutting boards, hammer,
cordless drill, and supervision by a museum development officer, amongst other
things as well. A projector, or similar,
is desirable, but may have to be a second stage of development.
There was a lot of information
given at the council meeting, about many things, including the minor grants
scheme policy, community loans policy, regional arts development funds and so
forth, sporting policy and in kind policy.
The information leaflets provided should be available to everyone, as
well as the amount of information available, so the Council is going to be
asked if some copies can be placed at the community centre, and a list published
in the magazine or somewhere similar.
Consultants have been appointed for the 50 year plan.
For the train, the short
answer is no. The managers are leaving, however, we are negotiating with the owners of the
park not the managers.
The desire for us to get the
land next door is going to be put in the 10 year plan, in hopes that the
Council will get it when it becomes available.

7. Treasurer's Report.
Nothing in or out. We are registered for GST.
Accounts for insurance and Jandowae Magazine need to be paid. Invoices need to be sent out for advertising in the booklet. It would be preferable to delay the magazine payment until the adverstising has been paid for.

It would be good if the rock wall
could be built up around and past the waterfall. If there is money left over then adding a
compound in to harden the creek bed could be worthwhile. It will be necessary to keep spraying for a
while. It was suggested to Powerlink that

As soon as what needs to be done about the Baker’s oven is confirmed, Peter Ireland will put in sprinklers. The guy got back to Vince and promised to come out and look at it, soon, when he can.
The timber railing for the Shearer’s Quarters needs to be painted or oiled. Linseed oil and turps may be sufficient. The steel railing probably needs to be treated as well. Vince is going to ask Rod Dolley about the best line of action, with the intention of matching the timber raililng colour to the steel railing colour. The aim is to preserve the wood as it appears now, but also to protect it.
The bathtubs from Jan are down at the cottage. Marg Bassingthwaigthe has organised a screed on the salting table, and Vince has organised a frame for the fridge.
Ros has spoken to the Morrissey’s about a sign, with a quote of approximately $100 for the tin or steel. Ros is going to measure up the size of the sign and work out what should be on it.
The aim is to get the Shearer’s Quarters prepared and opened on Australia Day. There is a working bee on September 30. vince is to organise the paint for the railings.
Peter Ireland will contact Lenny Vievers about getting Terry Sands’ cottage into shape, and Ian Wassell regarding the cost of moving the cottage, and then to investigate what funding is possible.
The AGM is on 12 October. We are going to ask Ed Hoffman to be chair of the meeting. Darryl is happy to continue as president. Shauna has to resign, and Violy’s intent are unsure. There is no need for written nominations.
One option is to get some milk from somewhere and have a butter making demonstration. It would be nice also to have milking demonstrations and shearing demonstrations if possible, as well as spinning if it were possible to get a spinning wheel. Jan is to take over organisation of Australia Day.
