This meeting was to have guest speaker, Imelda Rivers from Country Arts SA however due to illness she was
forced to cancel at the last minute. She sent her utmost appologies. Imelda will now appear at the April meeting on the 26th.
Group President Judy Fergurson, Vice President John Spencer and Secretary Marjorie Macrae were also unable to
attend. Julia Mannix took over chairing the meeting with everything running smoothly.
Points of disscussion included:
- No further updates on the status of the Gawler Courthouse. Presently the building is up for sale and is
awaiting any expressions of interest by other state government bodies before being offered for sale to the Gawler Council.
- Certificates of Appreciation were given out to all sponsors of our first Art and Craft Exhibition held in
December 2000. All sponsors were thankful for the recognition with the Gawler Arms being particularly interested in sponsoring future events.
- It was suggested by Norm Neilson that we ensure the group gets listed in the next edition of councils
'Gawler Information and Business Directory' publication. This will be followed up.
