Local History Subgroup Newsletter

Transition The Grove Banner
To view this message on-line please {readonline}Click here.{/readonline}.

Dear {usertag:name}

The History Subgroup hasn’t met yet but there are lots of local history threads that are worth becoming aware of.

There has been a lot of local activity in the local history area in the Pine Hills region over the years. For example I have a book in front of me by Merle McGovern Daphne Gibson and Rosaleen Prouse: Living Stones: A 50-year history of St William’s Catholic Parish.  There are a lot of local history resources in the Arana Hills Library. 

Can I encourage you to start using the Our History Forum  on this website to build up local information and discussions. Have a look at what is there already and think about what could be added. More importantly think about who you might encourage to join to ensure that we are reaching all the people interested in local history here.

Several approaches we could take with the History Forum. One would be to work through existing groups. The other would be to meet together and think about what might be done to develop the history of the upper Kedron Brook valley (The Grove) specifically.

Suggestions of where to meet are also important to explore.

My role with the subgroups is to help them early on to get actively started and to channel new people who are interested through to the group as they join Transition The Grove.  The idea is to have it taken over by someone who has a personal interest in the area who is prepared to work to carry it forward.

All suggestions welcomed.

There are several approaches to communicate initially: Go to Groups on the website and send the group a Bulletin or email members via the link there. Have the discussion on the Forum. Email me via the Contact Us tab and I’ll forward suggestions on to the group. If you are happy to have your email address shared with the group I can start putting together a group email but I can’t do that without individual approval.

Two specific things coming up:

1. Radio YYY 87.6FM’s 15th anniversary. It would be good to organise something to celebrate this event and really bring it into focus locally.

2. Arana Hills Library: Local History Workshop

When:  31/03/2011 01:00 PM – 03:00 PM

Description

A Local History workshop featuring well-known local historians all of whom have published work and/ or extensive research backgrounds.
Not sure whether this is an RSVP event.

Clean Up Australia Day – 4 March

Transition The Grove Banner
To view this message on-line please {readonline}Click here.{/readonline}.

Dear {usertag:name}

Clean Up Australia Day – 4 March 2012
This message is going to members of the Environment and Waste Reduction groups.

Last year we had a very successful Clean Up Australia Day site at Leslie Patrick Park in Arana Hills. As well as removing a lot of rubbish from the environment it was an effective community outreach project and provided the opportunity to talk with a lot of people about Transition The Grove.

I have just received a letter from Moreton Bay Regional Council reminding us that Clean Up Australia Day this year will be on Sunday 4 March.

I’m keen to participate but wont be able to take part in organising it this year because I am committed to organising our Energy Expo which as planned for about the same date.

Is there someone else in the Environment or Waste Reduction groups that would like to organise this event. Moreton Bay Regional Council were extremely helpful last year and supplied a great deal of materials and equipment in addition to that supplied by Clean Up Australia. GVK Lions participated by providing a sausage sizzle for participants.

If you are interested in organising this event please let me know by phone or email.

Home: 3851 1016
Mobile: 0432 478 703

Cheers

John Tennock
