Changing of the guard at MBG.
At our AGM on 28 October 2019, Chair Jane Mouritz and Secretary Barb Madden both stepped down as office bearers after 11 years in those roles, in fact ever since Jane and Jon Doust first mooted such a group in 2009. Moira Maley also resigned as our Treasurer for the past year. Both Moira and Barb have agreed to join the committee.
The new Chair is Sigrid Adams. Sigrid was born in Albany and has recently returned, from Fremantle, to live in Golf Links Road. She has extensive experience in retirement village management and engaging with developers and seniors, through her business Village Solutions. Sigrid is committed to connecting people with the place they live and believes all should feel valued and able to contribute to increasing the quality of life within the Middleton Beach precinct.
Chris Gunby will continue as vice chair, Pam Dolley is the new treasurer and Margaret Gorman and Rob Hensel will join Moira and Barb on the committee. The position of secretary is still vacant.

Walking through from Eyre Park towards Midds Beach early a few mornings ago, I heard cries of “Timberrr” from the beach as one of the 3 Norfolk pines within the construction enclosure North of the surf club, was felled. And over the roof tops, I saw it go down.
So sad that one of these long lived majestic trees had to go. There are now huge mounds of excavated beach dirt piled adjacent to the remaining 2 pines. And work for the Midds beach board walk development continues.
