PRESIDENT’S REPORT: AGM 18 April 2011 anniversary was held on 14 August 2010, exactly 30 years on from the date of the Society’s first official meeting. Since taking over as President of the Society in 2009 the volume of business One of our flagship events over many years has been the Wheal Watkins Mine finding its way onto my desk has constantly reminded me that for a small tours and throughout the year I have been reporting through our Newsletter Society the BHS is a very busy one.

At the Regional Seminar reported above holders and Committee members and I extend to them my very real thanks. it seemed as though our efforts had been successful, with then City of Burnside Most of our current Committee members and office holders are willing and able Mayor Wendy Greiner advising in her opening remarks that the Council would to serve for another twelve months and the continuity that this represents will add $16 000 from its own sources to the $30 000 anonymous donation be invaluable in the running of the Society. One significant change is that after brokered by our Society and a $25 000 State Heritage contribution. This was thirty years as a Committee member, three of which were as President and the total funding identified previously as necessary for the safety works needed eleven as Vice President, John Clark is standing down.

Closer to home, our programme of monthly meetings has again been popular In reviewing the past year I would observe that it has certainly lived up to the and it is important to thank all of those who make the meetings possible: the early predictions that it would be a very busy one. In addition to our usual members of the Programme Committee who have sought out the many programme of monthly meetings we had three major events to organise and run interesting speakers; the helpers who put out the chairs and tables; the supper – the biennial Eastern Regional History Seminar, our own biennial regional tour providers, coordinated most efficiently by Hazel Newton and Sharan Northcott; and a 30th anniversary dinner for the Society. Glen Woodward who helps with hospitality and table decorations and our audio technicians John Love and Brian Ward. The latter two have persevered The Regional History Seminar held on Saturday 19 June 2010 attracted 55 with equipment that continues to be more than a little challenging at times and attendees from historical societies of the eastern suburbs and near Hills and was through their efforts we continue to have amplification and sound recording of the ninth held over the past two decades. It was also the second organised by our meetings. In relation to the latter, a change of equipment in the hall has our Society and a hard working committee headed up by our Secretary Sharan resulted in our meetings now being recorded in digital format. Northcott had its efforts rewarded by a very good day of morning presentations and afternoon tours.
