The next meeting of the Society will be held at the Imperial Hotel on Tuesday 19th July at 5.30pm The speakers will be Jane Lally and Graham Wilson OAM who will present An Evening with the McNutts.

Although the name McNutt may not be familiar, their careers deserve to be remembered and Jane, a librarian, has recorded the life and works of Mollie McNutt (1885-1919). Mollie and husband Andrew commenced teaching as pupil teachers at Hillgrove Public School. In her short life Mollie won prizes for poetry and prose and published the book ‘Songs of the Bushland’ reflecting her love of Australian birds and countryside which was shared by her husband.
