At a recent meeting of Golden Plains Rural Women’s Network we asked these questions: should we disband; are we no longer relevant? Historically, the group was established to support rural families during drought. It has since provided opportunities to connect, share stories and build stronger communities. There have been various social events with excellent speakers. A Geelong Community Foundation grant funded a disability family fun day - a wonderful event for disabled children and siblings. The mental health of families affected by difficult conditions was a focus. To this end, training in a mental health first aid course was delivered at Hesse Rural Health. Businesses across the Shire attended to develop effective strategies to identify and support clients exper- iencing stressful situations, requiring support and understanding to cope. Recently the group recognised many farmers are struggling to maintain water supplies for livestock. Many farm dams are dry and farmers are utilising water
points. During the drought, a bore and tank was established at Warrambeen - it has been well used by farmers but the single tank is struggling to keep up with supply. In conjunction with Bannock-burn Connected Communities and the Shire, a second tank was purchased to secure water for dry times and fire. This has all been achieved by a very small committee, meeting on an as-needs basis to support the community. The committee is seeking expressions of interest in the continuation of the group. If none is forthcoming at its April meeting the group will commence the process of winding up its operation. There will be difficult times in the future - droughts and hard times. The Golden Plains Rural Women’s Network is recognised for past success. Now it is up you. Do you want this group to continue? We are happy to help but need interest and involvement. Contact Jen Blake Secretary [email protected] if you wish to register an interest.

1st Anakie Scout Group Term 1 2018: well, it’s going to be difficult with Amanda gone, as she did most of the organising of extra things. But, with two new helpers to our group, we should be fine. Here are a couple of highlights: * Founders Day, a pool gathering and a party with our region
cubs and scouts - photos next issue. What is Founders Day? “Worldwide in nearly all Scout associations, Founders Day is celebrated on 22 February, the birthday of Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell (born in 1857), the founder of Scouting and, coincidentally, also of his wife Olave Baden-Powell (born in 1889).” Wikipedia. * We will partake in Clean up Australia Day on Sunday 4 March - if you see us picking up along Staughton Vale Road, give us a toot, will you? Or, better still, stop your car and pitch in and help us! Much more will be mentioned the next issue of the AA!
