After a brief introduction from our President, Lesley Milne, we will have a short AGM.

Come and hear what we’ve been doing in our first 12 months and please consider joining our committee. We are a group of local people aiming to reduce waste, keep organics out of landfill and reduce carbon emissions by building regenerative practices that nurture the health of local communities and the environment in Indigo Shire.

Stay for supper afterwards.
