Our final meeting was held at the Benalla Golf Club on 30th November. ‘Pains and Gains’ over the month, reflections on our research this year, plans for next year and more were informally shared over lunch and a glass of wine or two looking out at the golf course from the deck. Bliss!
Communication with family members or friends have enabled both Malcolm and Barry to add valued information to their family tree this month, as reported on our ‘Family Stories’ page. Our September guest speaker, Alan Henderson, played an important role in facilitating Malcolm’s discoveries.
Thank you to all those who have shared family stories on monthly topics over the past three years, a strategy introduced during the Co-vid hiatus which is being scaled down in 2024.
Next year’s group, with Jane and Barry convening, will incorporate intermediate learners and has been renamed ‘Family Research’. ‘Pains and Gains’ will continue to feature each month, alongside a program of guest speakers and excursions. A complementary ‘Drop In’ session each month will provide ‘hands on’ time and mentoring. Until then – ‘Happy Festive Season’.
