Friends of Shepherds Hill Recreation Park (FoSH) celebrated its 25th anniversary on 7 September with a morning tea held in the park.
In recognition of their dedication, 7 members were honoured with certificates, badges and letters for their involvement for 25 years and 7 members were awarded 10 year awards.
​​
After a few short speeches, Catherine Hutchesson MP and Gus Thompson (FoSH President) presented awards to the members.
​
25 year recipients: Ron Miller, Margo Carmichael, Charles Connelly, Coral Gomer, David Gomer, Bruce Lang & Geoff Willmott.
​
10 year recipients: Graeme Brettig, Helen Tassell, Chris Regan, Robin Cram, Lindy Taeuber & Milton and Jan Turner.
​​
Justin Holder also presented a certificate to the FoSH group, accepted by Robyn Guy.
It was a beautiful sunny day and a wonderful chance for the members, old and new, to meet up with some of the people that have supported FoSH over the years; Duncan Mackenzie, Tony Magor, Justin Holder, Jen Pitman & Ann Prescott.
​
Well done!

November Working Bee will be Held
The forecast maximum temperature for tomorrow of 35 degrees C would normally cause cancellation of the working bee, but, on this occasion, we propose to continue with the activity and to review the situation at morning tea time. The reason is that Robyn has discovered that the threatened species planted earlier in the year are under severe stress from lack of water. She has already watered some of them, but needs help to water the remainder and that will be the prime objective of the working bee. Robyn will be starting earlier than our usual 9.00 am start time and, if you can start earlier, contact her to let her know. Otherwise, meet at the usual time. If you have a water container of 10 litres or so and/or a bucket, please bring it along.
It will get hot as the morning progresses, so, if you don't feel comfortable working in these conditions, do not feel under any obligation to do so.
