PRESIDENT’S REPORT
I would like to thank the
members of the Club (Janet, Joanne and Jane), who without hesitation filled in
and did David’s duty roster whilst he was away, as well as doing their own
regular rostered shifts. Also I would
like to thank Doug for filling in for me, while I was visiting my brother, and
for chairing the AGM. Then, as I have
been ill since a few days after the AGM, without any hesitation, Janet has done
my roster, as well, for the last 4 weeks.
These volunteers have been doing their own shifts, David’s shifts and
mine……Thank you for keeping the Club open and operating as per usual.
It has been very good to see
the Club members using the lockers. I
know at times, lockers have had to be shared and that we need more
lockers. So a few days ago, more lockers
were purchased and these will be put into use as soon as possible.

OPENING HOURS – PLEASE NOTE:
The Club will be closed on
Public Holidays due to lack of volunteers.
If in doubt, please phone to find out before making the trip into town.
While we make every effort
to open the Club at the rostered times, a shortage of volunteers means we are
unable to provide emergency cover for roster volunteers who are unable to attend
on their rostered days, due to other commitments. Please understand if you arrive to find the
Clubrooms unattended.
Also be aware, that if the rostered duty persons are
the only members in attendance, at approx. 1pm on Mondays and Saturdays, the Club
will close early.
We are in need of more
members to volunteer for ‘duty’. It is
not hard – it is just a case of being there to assist new members and
visitors. Ideally we would like to have
two duty persons per session. Duty
persons are there to help assist you with your research, not to do it for
you. Please be considerate to all who
volunteer to be duty persons as they have their own research that they would
like to do as well. At the moment, most
days, we have just one person ‘on duty’.
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to help out with library duty
on a regular basis or on a ‘needs be’ basis.
