Thank you to the Peachester History Committee who hosted the 6-monthly meeting on Saturday 20 November 2021. Niles Elvery, Senior Archivist at Queensland State Archives, gave an interesting presentation on the history of the Peachester School. After the business of the meeting, Helen Page gave an interesting talk about the Peachester area from the early days to now, and that was followed by a tour of the amazing Heritage Centre the group has created full of a wide variety of memorabilia from the area. It was an enjoyable day for all who attended.

Early in December, your society should have received the insurance proposal which must be completed and returned to our broker, Christine Reith - AJ Gallagher. It is very important that the completed proposal is sent to Christine as soon as possible because the information provided will form the basis of your renewal premium.
If you have not received the proposal please email or phone Helen Turner, HQ Insurance Officer - 0412 708 401 (Insurance Renewal was due 31 March 2021)
Public Liability Insurance costs, particularly for small non-profit groups, can be an expense beyond their means. HQ Inc., through its insurance broker, offers Public Liability Insurance under blanket group insurance. Currently, the Public Liability Insurance coverage offered is $20 million.
