Committee elections

The Patonga Beach Progress Association elected a committee with several familiar faces and one new member at its annual meeting in October.

Mark Austin, who has served as president for the past four years, stepped down from the position only to put his hand up for vice-president.

"Mr Austin has been a very effective president and we are fortunate to have his continued involvement in the Association," said incoming president Mr Dain Simpson, who has returned to Patonga after living and working overseas.

Mr Simpson now lives in Patonga Creek and has owned property in Patonga for more than 16 years.

He has previously been active in the Association.

Judy Singer continued on as secretary as did Joyce Chambers in her role of treasurer.
