Convicts, Speculators and Settlers – Who would have guessed about this early history of Ashfield!: Guest speaker Committee Member Kerry Barlow,

AGM

The Society’s Annual General Meeting is one of the key events of the year. The President will present report on the activities of previous year, and new Officer Bearers and Committee Members will be elected.

Kerry Barlow

Kerry has an extensive background in education, having taught economics, economic history and education for many years, at high school, TAFE and university levels. Kerry also has strong skills in research, having conducted numerous funded projects and published many reports, articles and learning guides on a wide range of social and economic issues. Some of her passions lie in family and local history research, and she used her teaching and research expertise to develop genealogy courses for the WEA, which she taught for 8 years until recently. Currently she is writing brief articles for the ADHS Journals and enjoying learning much more about our local cultural and social heritage.

At the AGM, David Rollinson will launch Kerry’s book on Federal-Fyle Heritage Conservation Area. This will be available for financial ADHS members to collect on the day.
