It was also suggested that the Saturday prior to our meeting day would be the most suitable. Colleen Allan reported that a group of children from the Baptist Church visited the Court House recently and showed keen interest in looking at our collection of photos of the Avoca of yesteryear and a display of household chattels like bellows, flat irons and the like, courtesy of Mrs. Muller, of Woodstock. The Society has recently received a permit from Heritage Victoria to proceed with the removal of paint from the outside walls of the Court House - another step forward. On Monday, 20th April, the Goldfields and Arts Society, Dunolly, is conducting a tour of Llanelly, Newbridge and Laanecoorie. These tours, led by Ron Carless, are always full of interest and provide a wonderful opportunity to visit and learn about the areas where our ancestors once lived.
All interested folk are welcome.
Please BYO lunch, drinks and a sun hat. Travel will be by private vehicles and those attending are asked to be at the Llanelly grain silo by 10.30 am. For those folk not familiar with the area, Llanelly is situated along the Bendigo road, between Tarnagulla and Newbridge Michael Family Reunion - It is hoped to hold a Michael family reunion in August this year at St. Arnaud.
