Looking to the year ahead

The AGM of the museum's owner/operator, Strath Taieri Historical Society Inc, was held this week. The management committee for the coming year is Dawn Coburn (chairperson), Keith Harris (deputy chair), Dianna Bradshaw (secretary), Liz Gilmore (treasurer), Pete Sparrow and Ann Robertson. A warm welcome to Ann, a new member who has holidayed in Middlemarch for years and has recently become a fulltime resident.

Following the AGM, those museum members present participated in an open discussion which produced several very good ideas to be pursued and implemented by the management committee. More about these ideas soon.

The annual membership subscription remains at a very affordable $10. Why not become a member and have your say about how your museum operates? You would also be contributing to the considerable cost of running the museum. Membership enquiries to secretary Dianna museummiddlemarch@gmail.com . Membership renewals are due now: deposit to ST Historical Society 01-0678-0023193-00 . Donations are always welcome too!
