The Society is alive and well, thanks to your support and an active Management Committee.
The successful kapmurri in November was followed by a birthday party for Matthew Flinders in March, which also used the kapmurri theme. The birthday party was a great success, attended by Matthew himself (impersonating Mark Bowden), John English, Peter and Helen Dowling and over fifty guests. It was held at “Mudlo”, the home of Carolyn Brammer and Lindsay Duncan, the moon came up on cue. Beside the little lake the atmosphere was magic. A lot of people did a lot of work but it was worth it, to see everybody enjoying themselves. Woolworths at Victoria Point West donated a wonderful cake and the Fire Brigade supervised the meltdown which heated the rocks – they were still too hot to touch twelve hours later. The two kapmurris have boosted our coffers. At 31 May our bank balance stood at $1,913.05 in credit. The Society is going to celebrate Flinders’ birthday as a regular event and hopes to encourage other organisations to so the same, to make a kind of Flinders’ Week.
