Mungungo Sports & Recreation Club AGM
2020-03-05 18:00 - 18:15 (Australia/Brisbane) | Mungungo Pub
Mungungo Sports & Recreation Club will be holding our AGM at MUNGUNGO PUB 6:00 pm on Thursday 5 March 2020.
The meeting will take a little longer than usual as Vicki & Steve will be stepping down as members and office-bearers to be re-elected before kicking the meeting off.

It is with regret, as advised in our previous meeting some months ago, Steve Alford & myself will be stepping down as president and secretary for the coming year and 2020 event.
We have found involvement in this event each year has developed great friendships and has been so very rewarding when you see how many cricketers and their families have enjoyed their day. It is also a pat on the back to our small committee for the funds that you have assisted raising continually each year to our forever grateful charities.
We encourage you as members to discuss these roles among your friends and colleagues to see if there is any interest from the community in taking on these roles.
Steve and I will continue as members and provide handover and support to ensure we continue this very worthwhile community event.
Thank you everyone for all your support over the past, the help on working bees and the dedication you have all shown in ensuring this event stays on the annual calendar 😊
Cheers guys
Vicki & Steve

About Kalpower
The Kalpowar Hall was built in 1954 using locally milled timber from the Kalpowar Forest, built only by voluntary labour and without debt.
The village of Kalpowar is situated in the foothills of the Burnett Range, beside the Kalpowar State Forest which protects a mosaic of forests. Patches of dense rainforest with towering hoop pines remain between open eucalypt forests and hoop pine plantations. More than 150 plant species occur in the hoop pine rainforest which was first logged in 1918.
The word Kalpowar means either Pine Tree or Copper in Indigenous language. Kalpowar is home to a very unique carnivorous snail. The snail has been named Pedinogyra Kalpowar (or Kalpowar flat-coiled snail) as it was first located and identified in Kalpowar State Forest in 1982.
The little village was voted top 50 small towns in Australia in 2016 and voted as Australia’s best kept secret. This place has something for everyone and is so warm and inviting, you will never want to leave. Kalpowar been highly praised for our 4WD, camping, horse trail riding and motocross tracks in the State Forest.
