Community group looks for secretary

The Bays Community Group is looking for a secretary and a vice-president after the positions failed to be filled at the group's annual meeting.

President Ms Cathy Gleeson was re-elected for another year.

Following the success of the group's first Bays Community Fair held on March 11, the group is now anticipating "an even bigger, more successful Fair in 2019", according to Ms Gleeson.

"The sun was shining, and the people came," she said.

"Phegan's Bay was the perfect position for this event.

"The Fair came about after our recent Bays Survey, when residents requested an outdoor, family-oriented day.

"The Village Green was a great setting for our kids and adult games to be run.

"The Bays Community Group could not have done this without so much support and contributions from our community, and we are very grateful, and very pleased to have been able to bring this Fair to fruition."

Ms Gleeson said that, as a result of the fair, the group was now looking at establishing a bushcare group.

"We would also like to acknowledge Central Coast Council's support of our event and, in particular, bushcare officer Anna Deegan for her attendance on the day.

"Anna spoke with many interested local residents about the creation of a bushcare group for Phegans Bay.

"The Bays Community Group is pursuing this further with Council."

The group's new committee elected on February 21 for 2018 is treasurer Andrea Wilkinson, Phegan' s Bay representatives Zoe Anderson and Marie Davies, Woy Woy Bay representatives Margaret Vidler and Deb Lloyd, and Horsfield Bay representative Naomi Vietch.

Ms Gleeson said: "We welcome any ideas or suggestions from our community as to what we could include for next year's event, but with this comes the need for more volunteers.

"So anyone who can volunteer their time or services will be welcomed," she said.
