Welcome to our new member - John Kaeser
Our next monthly meeting will be
held on Saturday 9th August, 2008.
We do not have a guest speaker for 26th
July, 2008 if enough of you are interested we could have a brick wall
session. In the past these sessions have
always been rather informative.
Dont forget we are having a CHOCOLATE
DRIVE in August, further information will be sent to regarding this event.
On behalf of all the Committee and
members a big thank you must go to Maisie Stratford for donating the funds for
the Club to purchase a laser multi-functional printer. This gesture was very much appreciated.
Do you have any funeral order of
service sheets/or memorial sheets for the library?

I recently stumbled upon a wonderful
site about the 5th Black Watch. On the
site, there is a link to the war memorials of many of the Angus parishes
(Scottish). The administrator of the
site has done a lot of work taking pictures of headstones of pre-WW2
headstones. If any of you have Black Watch or Angus WW1 connections, I encourage
you to have a look.
This site contains a database of
322,000 Australian place names extracted from the 2006 edition of Australasian Gazetteer.
