Dear {usertag:name}
This is to let Transition the Grove – Environment Group members know that I have just had a fruitful discussion with the leader of the local Scout group and come to an agreement in principle that we can use the Scout Hall in Wahminda Grove Ferny Hills (in Samford Road just past the new Woolshed Grove residential development).
This seems like an ideal base for local environmental activities such as wildlife surveys educational presentations bushcare projects and refreshments to follow any of these. The group plans to install multimedia facilities (data projector) in the near future.
I haven’t yet had the opportunity to check out inside the building but I’m told that it has recently been refurbished mainly to replace the asbestos lining.
In principle it is available Thursday through Sunday and during school holidays subject to confirmation for each individual booking. Scouts use it on Monday through Wednesday evenings and their requirements would always take priority of other bookings.
Understandably the scouts would be looking for a donation to support their valuable work with youth and to help maintain the building.
We have enjoyed participating in a number of activities with the Kedron Brook Management Branch (Glider Survey Frog Survey etc). No doubt this venue could also be used for these activities.
The Wahminda Grove bush-care group is active in the areas adjacent to the scout hall and may be available to talk to a group meeting an share their experience and knowledge of the local flora.
Any suggestions about Environment Group activities that might be planned for this venue would be appreciated.
Regards
John Tennock
