2019 AGM

30/7/2019

President's Report.This is our eighth Annual General Meeting but also the sixteenth year since the first Arts Event with the inaugural Easter exhibition. Our aim is to bring art to the area for the community to enjoy. The history component of our agenda is also being addressed.

Since our last Annual Meeting we have been involved in the following activities:
September 2018
  • MCTC: New Directions.
The three one act plays were  to          introduce new producers to
the art of directing a theatrical performance. This was the first performance without music for MCTC for a long time  and was highly successful.

October 2018
  • Cobb & Co Stables interpretive sign was put in place.
  • Screen printing Workshop with Helen Wakefield was so successful the group is looking forward to another session to further their skills.

November 2018
  • Remembrance Day commemoration at the memorial site.
A quotation from Jan Curtis says it all and is the reason we continue to hold this event for the community…
‘As we stood remembering at the commemorative ceremony held at Moonambel's  Memorial last Sunday, it seemed to me to really capture the spirit we all hold deep within our hearts. I am one of many who were thinking deeply of a father, grandfather, great uncle, great aunty, brothers and sisters
who served way back.’

​April 2019
  • An Exhibition without a Title Easter art show & sale.
We were presented with 59 pieces of artwork from 25 artists using a vast range of media.
Wood carving, water colours, acrylics, oils, pastels, pencil, mosaic tiles, photography, linocutting, printing, torn tissue collage, glass and even rocks. The people’s choice winner was the possum carved by our local wood carver Barry Fox.

May 2019
  • Moonambel Historical Police Precinct Information Panels
The four panels were erected at the Moonambel Common and include:
  • The cover of the Moonambel Watch House Charge Book 1883 – 1914.
  • The information of the 53 people held over that long period. 
  • Headings including the date, name, age, country of origin, their calling, charge and the offence along with remarks.
  • Silhouette images on the original 'mural'
  • Floor plans of the associated buildings.
  • An excerpt from the original book. 
​​                               At last  we have achieved what we aimed for all those years ago.

June 2019
  • MCTC: Babes in the Wood pantomime
Once again Steve and Gwynn  managed to produce a wonderful performance with the twist of most of the actors being in role reversal. Cast, crew and audience all enjoyed a wonderful show.
​


Our website mahg.org.au keeps our activities documented for all to see.

Market stalls, barbecue and Devonshire teas continue to be a drawcard when we have events staged at the Moonambel Recreation Reserve. 

Projects on the go...

  • The Moonambel Lockup project at the Common. Still on the books but slowly coming together. The next step is the lockup renovation including the 3 figures being replaced.

  • Art workshops in varied media.

  • Installing historic information plaques around the township.

​I repeat what is said in my previous reports as it still holds the true meaning of our small but dedicated group of volunteers…
‘Once again our small team of dedicated workers make our projects work. The creative members need the level headed art & history lovers to make these things happen and vice versa. We have built up a wonderful reputation in the Pyrenees district basically due to our respect of our team and supporters. Well done all.

Our future projects, whatever they may be, are almost guaranteed success due to this dedication and wonderful harmonious community team spirit. I thank you all.’

Garry Hutton.
