Branch News Update:

Sunday 25 July

AGM, Ross and lecture by Robyn Hawkins on : The Painters Eye and Three Historic Gardens -Tarella, Sydney NSW - Whitley, Southern Highlands - Bentley, Tasmania.

AGM

Robyn Hawkins retired as President and Mike Evans was elected. Two new committee members were elected : Christine Ward and Mandy Stroebel. Maura O’Connor retired as Editor of Blue Gum. Warwick Oakman has taken on that role.

Robyn Hawkins has been President for 6 years. During that time she has brought a great deal of knowledge and inspiration to our events. Her lecture, showing examples of her art and illustrating how she approached the restoration or redevelopment of the three historic gardens was a fitting end to her Presidency. We are very grateful for all her work for the Society.

We are also grateful to Maura O’Connor who took over as Editor of Blue Gum from Robyn several years ago. She has worked tirelessly to maintain the high standard of this publication.
