SUB-COMMITTEE FORMATION MEETING NOTICE

Sunday 23rd August 2009 - 10am
Gunalda Public Hall
27 Balkin Street
Gunalda QLD


Gunalda is just off the Bruce Highway north of Gympie and is well signposted. It is only a small hamlet.

Plans to form a Sub-Committee to the Qld RPG will be discussed. The aim of the Sub-Committee is to enable members in the Wide Bay, Burnett, Fraser Coast and Sunshine Coast regions to network and meet other members in these areas, and most importantly to work with the RPG to encourage the promotion of Welsh Ponies throughout Queensland and specifically throughout this region via a variety of events.

All interested members and non members are welcome to attend and help create an early plan of action for how we would like a group like this to develop and where we could see our efforts most efficently directed to promoting our wonderful ponies throughout the State.

Please bring a plate to share for morning tea, coffee and tea will be provided and the pub across the road has counter meals for those who wish to stay for lunch.

Enquiries should be directed to meeting organisers: Sue Groundwater harmonyhillponies@hotmail.com or Ruth Porter ruth56@bigpond.com
