SBCC Annual General Meeting 2010

On the 11th of November 2010 the South Barwon Community Centre Inc. held it's Annual General Meeting. The night had a warm and friendly atmosphere with community members enjoying the proceedings and learning what the past financial year had brought our organisation.



Outgoing chairperson Sandy Towers chaired the meeting with co-ordinator Jan Rockliff enlightening the attendees of the Centre's succcesses and acheivements the year had brought us.

The night wound down with wine and nibbles as everyone got the chance to circulate and have a good chat. A special mention must go the winners of the Digital Camera Basics' course Scavenger hunt who were presented with their prizes for taking the best photos as judged by their peers.

As part of the mural community art project currently underway there was also lots of hand tracing done by participants of the night to go into the painting. But more on that next year!
