Wow -I've finally got this happening - thanks Jan for your patience! What a wonderful gathering - it was great that so many were able to get to Bendigo for the recent DAA General meeting. Your Regional Reps at work - from 8.30am to about 5.30 pm on Saturday - on a glorious winter's day after a frosty start, with sun streaming through the windows. Luckily Angie & I did the Wildflower Walk when we arrived on Friday!
Thanks to DA Bendigo for the extra folding beds and mattresses, as by Sat evening we had stretched the Otis Foundation rooms to the max, so 4 of us followed Judy Milner home to our comfy billets after dinner at the pub. A quick Sunday morning tour of Judy's beautiful garden (now I know why Judy is the volunteer gardener at Otis) while gulping coffee to keep warm, before we set off into town to greet more locals and some new arrivals from Ballarat. By all accounts the Vic team reps thought the meeting was most worthwhile - "finally felt that member groups had a part of the process and that there was a more accessible way ofbeing 'heard'." "The meeting seemed to go well and it was a good opportunity to get to know more about the operational aspect of DAA.""All the Pen. Dragonflys enjoyed themselves & got a lot out of the meeting.""...a most informative and enjoyable weekend. The session has certainly given me a greater understanding of the huge amount of work and dedication you all put in to keeping DA 'afloat"."
