Next Meeting Monday 24 August 2015

I have a sense improving weather is just a tad away. Signs are showing in the Garden…more work is just around the corner. Hard to believe less than a month until the Spring Equinox!

Apologies:
Visitors:                      

Competition: Own Choice up to 10 minutes. All films below 10 minutes are also eligible…so your 3, 4, 5 or 7 minute film is fine.

# GUEST SPEAKER

Heather Bray, Principal Dunedin Family History Group, will give a presentation and include some screened images….The Dunedin Family History Group meet once a month and have very popular programmes. Their purpose is to promote interest in the field of family history through educational programs, to collect and disseminate genealogical knowledge and information, and to provide support and guidance to those trying to research all aspects of their family history. A recent newsletter under Dunedin Family History which I found on Google had a reference to Beverly Begg Observatory…in which my Grandfather John Campbell Begg was noted!

This will be very interesting and will be worthwhile attending.

# Workshop Session 3
# Peter Begg has something a little different in mind. This will last around 10 minutes and will be the first time it has been tried…possibly since the clubs very beginnings in 1937!! It should not be too arduous!   

# John Armstrong has been working on archive storage and the development of a new cataloguing system which is now nearer to its completion. He will report on this and hopefully show how the new system works.
