The next meeting of the Society will be the AGM followed by the General monthly meeting. It will be held on Tuesday 21st July, 5.30pm at the Royal Hotel.

The speaker will be Dr Margaret Small who has been researching ‘Tilbuster’ station, taken up by Captain William Dumaresq in the 1830s. William’s elder brother, Colonel Henry Dumaresq settled on ‘Saumarez’ Station, but as William and his wife never lived on ‘Tilbuster’, it has not received the attention afforded to ‘Saumarez’.

Don’t forget (i) Membership is due and (ii) to order meals prior to the meeting.
