The Society has still to have an Annual General Meeting and October is our final meeting for the year. Covid 19 has called for new arrangements for a meeting on

Tuesday, 20th October, 7pm at the Dangarsleigh Hall

This will be an Annual General Meeting at the Dangarsleigh Hall at 7pm.
At this meeting elections for President, Secretary, Treasurer, Committee, Patrons, Public Officer, Newsletter and Journal Committee need to be undertaken. Please consider nominating yourself or others to assist in the running of the Society. Following the elections entertainment in the form of excerpts from Barbara Albury’s excellent play: ‘Armidale – Our Town’.

Dangarsleigh Hall, 8.4kms on the right hand side of Dangarsleigh Road is large enough to have 45 people gather to comply with current Covid 19 regulations. Attendances at our last three AGMs have been 31, 35 and 41, so it seems unlikely that attendance would exceed 45. A ‘Covid Marshall’ is required to monitor social distancing, signing in, hand sanitation and to request that people remain seated.

The October newsletter has information about the November Excursion to Black Mountain, the Journal, and two articles – one about the Armidale celebrations for the Inauguration of the Commonwealth in 1901, and the second about the history of the Dangarsleigh Hall and its origins in Hillgrove.
