Community group re-elects most of current committee
The Bays Community Group has held its annual general meeting and returned most of its current committee.
Ms Carolina Schuiling was elected president following the retirement of Ms Gwynneth Weir.
Vice-president is Ms Ally Chuang, treasurer Ms Marie Davis and secretary Mr Dean Wignell.
Other committee members are Ms Rachel Morris, Ms Teri Calder, Ms Ylenna Zajac, Ms Lina Nguyen, Ms Vivian Cumbo and Mr Keith Weir.

New president Ms Schuiling said: "The AGM took place and I am happy to say most of the current committee decided to stay on.
"I was elected President and have some big boots to fill after Gwynneth.
"The Bays Committee and community are very thankful for all her hard work.
"Gwynneth was instrumental in making the most of the difficult era of lockdowns and Covid restrictions.
"She focused on enabling The Bays community to socialise. And I, for one, have made friends because of it.
"Besides the familiar names and faces, the 2022 Committee has a couple of newbies in Keith Weir and Rachael Morris."
Ms Schuiling said the group's "much-awaited" Art Show and Exhibition was successful.
"At last. It was great to have our first post-Covid event.
"We had a sold out opening night and plenty of visitors coming through over the weekend as well. And of course, plenty of amazing art changing hands."
Ms Schuiling said the community hall was now available for hire without any Covid restrictions, and the Bays Breakfasts were continuing on the last Sunday of the month.
