PRESIDENT’S
REPORT
The last month has been a very quiet time in relation
to attendance. The numbers have fallen
to a disturbing low. Is there something
that your committee can do to make the club more attractive? If so let us know. If you are shy, please make use of the suggestion
box as all suggestions will be addressed and the results notified.
To date we have not heard anything from the mining
company concerning the request for a donation towards the purchase of the New
Zealand BDM’s.
The quotes for the securing of the verandah area of
the club have been submitted to Council for approval and we are anticipating a
positive response.
Congratulations to the winners in the
Do not forget our “Open Day” on the 23rd of this
month. We are open to the public with a
view to showing what we have that may assist them in any research. We are not there to do research for them on
the day.
Happy researching, David
GUEST
SPEAKER – Desley Schafer
(By the librarian)
Our guest speaker in August was Desley Schafer, from
QFHS, who gave our members a talk on how to keep your research records. Desley gave us an insight into the many and
varied methods she uses in her family history record keeping. She had plenty of useful ideas for us on how
to store our photos, certificates and general information for easy access.
Desley then went on to explain in some detail the two
genealogical computer programmes she uses – namely Family Tree Maker and Personal
Ancestral File. Overall it was a very
informative afternoon. There are various
information formats on A4 sheets available from the office at 20c a copy.

years of the news from The Herald from 1840-1990, has a lot of general and
shipping information. Some details of

be printed. Remember, our magazine goes
