2 Crowd favourite Bendigo Bank wins seven Mozo People’s Choice Awards
Australia is full of crowd favourites - even when it comes to banking. And according to this year’s Mozo People’s Choice Award winners, it looks like many Aussies can’t go wrong with Bendigo Bank. In fact, although the award categories have changed over the past decade, Bendigo Bank has been among the Mozo People’s Choice Award winners every year since 2012. And this year, the community focused bank has done it again, collecting a massive seven Mozo People’s Choice Awards in seven categories which include: 99 Outstanding Customer Satisfaction 99 Excellent Customer Service 99 Highly Trusted 99 Staff Friendliness 99 Customer Satisfaction Bank Accounts 99 Customer Satisfaction Credit Cards 99 Most Recommended. “The Mozo People’s Choice Awards have evolved over the years, as we adapted to better reflect what Aussies care about and found the easiest way to show that to them. But Bendigo Bank joined our winners list at the very beginning, and since then has pretty much been a constant,” said Mozo Data Services Director, AJ Duncanson. A big bank with heart Bendigo Bank holds the title of Australia’s fifth largest retail bank with over 1.7 million customers across the country and a purpose to help Aussies reach their financial goals. The Bank has been around for more than 160 years and does a lot of work within the local community - according to Bendigo Bank, since 1998 more than $205 million has been returned to communities for local initiatives as decided by communities themselves. And if the Mozo People’s Choice Awards lineup is anything to go by, all this work to put customers first has well and truly paid off. “We’re delighted to be recognised so strongly in this year’s Mozo People’s Choice Awards, and consistently since 2012. The results demonstrate that our strategy, customer and community focus, product offering, commitment to market- leading innovation, partnerships and the authenticity of our people continues to resonate with Australians,” said Marnie Baker, Managing Director, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank. The Mozo People’s Choice Awards So how does a bank like Bendigo Bank come out on top seven years in a row? For the Mozo People’s Choice Awards, our winners are determined by everyday Aussies in a nationwide survey, conducted by IPSOS on behalf of Mozo. Respondents were asked which providers they use, then asked to rank their providers on a scale of 1 to 10 across factors such as trust and customer service, reflected in the award categories. In our banking category, 141 banking providers were rated across 4,966 survey responses.

4 Home Cooking Old Fashioned Golden Syrup Dumplings. courtesy of Australian Home Cooks
INGREDIENTS 2 1/4 cups water 1 1/4 cups self raising flour 1/3 cup lightly packed brown sugar 40g butter, extra, chilled, chopped 1/3 cup caster sugar 1/4 cup milk 1/3 cup golden syrup 1 egg yolk 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice Ice cream – to serve 30g butter
METHOD 1. Place the water, combined sugars, golden syrup, lemon juice and butter in a large saucepan over low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts. Increase heat to medium–high, bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, place flour in a bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the extra butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. 3. Whisk the milk and egg together in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture and use a round-bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix until the mixture starts to come together. Use your hands to bring the dough together in the bowl. 4. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. 5. Add the dumplings to a baking dish and pour over the golden syrup mixture and cover. Place covered in a preheated oven at 170°C for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. 6. Divide the dumplings and syrup among serving bowls. Serve with ice-cream.

The day was also a great opportunity to find out more about keeping safe from bushfires In our first phase we asked four questions with with the RFS in attendance, learning about the people responding in writing, or to our ‘community Mussel Farm in Jervis Bay, about our Marine speaks table’. Over 800 separate comments were Park, Shoalhaven Transition, Save Husky Church, made from approx. 102 people. Comments were Marine Rescue, have your dog washed with Jims examined by the team and sorted into ‘like groups’ Dog Wash, entertained by the Raised Voices and summarised as desired future situations for Choir, and make a super cool face mask. Huskisson and Woollamia. We were able to sort comments into 18 statements which ranged from preserving the views, maintaining the character of the villages, respecting the heritage in the villages, and more cycle ways and paths, to name a few.
The next step is to put all this information together and to reflect on it at a HWCV meeting. Stay tuned. The day was only a success because of the efforts of the team, the support of Bendigo Bank, and the generous contributions of time from the stall holders and organisations that joined in. 11 Your Community Magazine Life - Through My Lens by Corinne Le Gall Check out Life - Through My Lens @ CorinneLeGallPhotography
Common Composition Rules - Negative Space Sometimes, less is best! Simplicity in photography, at times tells the better story. We may be tempted into trying to capture ‘everything’ that the eye sees, within a photograph. Take the photograph below. If other boats that were moored nearby were included within this photograph, it would somehow detract from the real subject. This boat started moving from its mooring and as it happened that morning, it was foggy. As the boat moved further away, the fog started to envelop it until it had completely disappeared. The subject of this photograph is obviously the boat while the rest of the photograph is all that surrounds it. Hence the term ‘negative space’. In this case, the ‘white space’ or ‘negative space’ is everything that is not the boat, hence the positive space is the subject of the photograph. Whenever you may be faced with a simple composition with one main subject and a lot of empty space, use your imagination as to how you can make a photograph out of it. Next issue: Symmetry

19 BAY & BASIN COMMUNITY RESOURCES (BBCR) BBCR celebrates 30 years of National Volunteer Week Volunteers “Making a world of difference” “Oh, What a Night”...... Over sixty BBCR volunteers & their partners were treated to a wonderful 2019 Volunteer recognition dinner. The attention to detail was second to none with beautifully laid out tables, floral table decorations, delicious Chef prepared cuisine and the BBCR Volunteer “Pirates band” playing classic pop music creating the mood. BBCR turned the St Georges Basin Community Hall into a classy restaurant. Volunteers guests were welcomed and presented with a 2019 Volunteer Week pin and personalised certificates as a memento of the evening. There was much to celebrate with several volunteers having completed 5, 10 and 15 years’ service. All were called up, thanked and presented with awards by BBCR Board Members. BBCR Volunteer Board President Dave Reynolds words addressed the question “why some people volunteer, and some don’t” and concluded that volunteers are driven to make their community better and BBCR volunteers are the backbone of not only the organisation, but the community. BBCR’s CEO, Sue Clifton has often said “This organisation was built on a vibrant and dedicated volunteer base” One of the most touching parts of the evening was when CEO Sue Clifton rather than adding to David’s fine words decided to take the microphone to BBCR’s quiet achievers and ask the volunteers who work in many parts of BBCR’s organisations programs to talk about their BBCR experience. They spoke about their driving passions, commitment and wanting to make things better for their community and how BBCR allows them to channel these desires to make a difference. Many organisations “talk the talk” but our BBCR is all Heart..... On behalf of your volunteer’s thank you BBCR, for showing your volunteers how much you value them. “Oh What a Night” – David Wells

Throughout history, travelling has been used as a way to display wealth, power and status, as well as a useful tool to control mighty subjects. Today, we take a journey as a matter of course, not thinking much of a distance of a hundred kilometres or more. In the past it was very different as an Aristocrat had to take not only clothes, but food, furniture, cooking facilities, tents, and the like, not just for himself and family but his household as well. In this talk, Andrew shows the many lavish and opulent accessories and modes of transport that were used by Monarchs and Aristocracy alike, to ease travel while on their seasonal “progress” to and from each other’s estates, and where diplomatic meetings turned into a contest of rivals to see who could outdo each other in the finest accommodation, jewels, silks, retinue and luggage train. (This is included in membership ($140 per year) or $25 at the door, which includes a light supper with wine). ADFAS Shoalhaven is a not for profit organisation where you can learn more about the Arts in a friendly and welcoming environment.
