RECENT UPDATES!

Welcome

Our newest member is Dr. Susan Johnston, of Hawthorn, Victoria. We extend a warm welcome to them and hope that she enjoys her membership.


Drama at the Dogs Home

I commend all members to check with Rob Boden's postings on TARBoard about the plight of the Dogs Home. The roof is in imminent danger of collapse, as the timber framing isrotten and the main beam does not rest on the walls any longer. This is because the walls are bowing outwards, and are in need of urgent repair or rebuilding. Rob is working with the owners, the Forestry Commission, to see what can be done and the best way to go about it.


On other website pages . . .

Members (and particularly Kiwis) should look for news of activities to come, and a much-enlarged and exciting Library list.


A Generous Offer!

Tasmanian member Bronwyn Tyson has informed me that "if anyone is coming to Tasmania, especially around the Wooden Boat Festival next year, and they plan to see some of the north of the state, we have a one bedroom flat which may be availaable, if not already in use. Phone (03) 6394 4453"


Cross-stitch Sampler Patterns

You will find small images of the designs on the Members' Advertisments page. Australasian members should contact me to purchase them. As they are a fund-raising activity for AusTARS, no funds should be made payable to me. Your cheques should be made in favour of AusTARS!


Deadline for articles for Furthest South.

Please submit articles for the February edition of Furthest South to David ASAP. The newsletter depends on YOU! Have you a tale of adventure, been to the UK on the AR trail, or could provide a short profile of yourself? If so, please send your article in a Word document by eel-mail to David or at 52 Ronald St, Tootgarook, Vic, 3941.


Jan Allen will continue to organise our AusTARS events but welcomes any help with this, if anyone would like to be involved with the planning


Swallows and Amazons for ever!
