Once again, the group has had to hold its AGM remotely. It was disappointing that we couldn’t enjoy the traditional wine and cheese sampling before listening to our scheduled guest, Greg Peters from Riverness. As soon as restrictions allow, we will definitely be making up for lost opportunities and reschedule this event.

We did get an opportunity to formally farewell, albeit over our computer screens, our long-standing treasurer, Anthony Jones, and our outgoing newsletter editor, Tim Harte. Again, thank you to them both for their support of the group.

And thank you to Heike Dunn for stepping into the treasurer’s role, and Christa Jones for accepting the secretarial responsibilities.
We are still looking for a Newsletter Editor! This newsletter is effectively the glue that has kept our whole Barrabool Hills community together, especially over the last 18 months. For this reason, two of our committee have kindly agreed to compile the October edition until we have found a new permanent volunteer. Hence the different format. Please though, if you would like to chance your hand at this great role for our community, contact Christa on barraboolhillslandcare@gmail.com for details about what it involves.

The following members were elected:
President – Jim Seager,
Deputy President – Ian Kelly,
Secretary – Christa Jones,
Treasurer – Heike Dunn
Committee members – Kaye Rodden, Trevor Jones, Judy Cohn, Tim Trottier, Tim Harte
Geelong Landcare Network Delegates – Tim Harte & Christa Jones

Future Events:

• Dung Beetle Field Day @Inverleigh 2/3 October
• Bus trip to look at previous BHLG projects
• e-DNA Platypus Information Day 12th Oct at Fyansford and Inverleigh
• Establishment of paddock trees project TBC
• Rescheduling Wine and Cheese night with a guest speaker and Acknowledgement of the Legacy of Past Members.

Thank you to Peter Stray, President of Geelong Landcare Network for undertaking the role of casual returning officer again this year.
Thank you to all outgoing committee members, welcome all incoming committee members and all the best for the coming year.
