PRESIDENT’S
REPORT
The numbers attending the
premises are improved of late. We have
some new members who seem to be enjoying the atmosphere at the club as well as
their research. The lockers are being well patronized which is very pleasing.
Thanks go to those members who
have volunteered their time to learn the ropes with respect to the duty
roster. This is most welcome.
It would appear that, barring
anything untoward, the securing of the verandah may be done in the not too
distant future thanks to our Patron Greg Chippendale.
Elaine and her helpers deserve a
big pat on the back for their efforts in the production of her school reunion
book and the resultant profit to the club.
Well done!
Thanks to Jack for his efforts
in downloading and printing the multitude of records given to the club.
Is there something that your
committee can do to make the club more attractive? If so let one of your committee know. If you are shy, please make use of the
suggestion box as all suggestions will be addressed and the results notified.
Our “Open Day” on the 23rd of
last month did not go as planned. My big
“X” for the year must go to the local media for its singular lack of response
to our requests for the inclusion of advertising for this event.
Happy researching,
David
IMPORTANT
- PLEASE NOTE:
OUR
CLUB’S ONLY EMAIL ADDRESS IS NOW
A
BIG Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to help out with
library duty on a regular basis or on a ‘needs be’ basis.
However we are still 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. At the
moment, most days, we have just one person ‘on duty’.
HINDSIGHT
MAGAZINE
Stories for the Hindsight can be
submitted at any time for publication in upcoming issues. Our magazine is sent to many other Genealogy
Clubs throughout
Also
don’t forget our birthday page in the Hindsight. If you have a birthday coming up could you
please submit your baby/toddler photo for inclusion in the next issue of
Hindsight.
It has been suggested that we
include a regular column in the Hindsight “Help Wanted”, where members who are
having difficulty with their research may like to submit questions about
certain aspects of their research. So
get your thinking caps on, and depending on what space is available in the
magazine, your questions will be printed.
Remember, our magazine goes to other genealogy clubs all over
