Mulgrave Shire Historical Society

The historians at Gordonvale must be congratulated on the launch of their Society's new website which will be a great complement for their well used Facebook page.  This new innovation will bring the group's computer social media up to the standard of the other big northern historical societies.  The other big project they are busy with at the moment is their Tea Cosy Competition which they hope will help to revive the old craft of tea cosy making as well as helping to promote the Society.  An information flyer and entry form for the competition is available for anyone keen to participate.  The group also reported that they had recently hosted a visit to their museum by a group of visually impaired people which was organized by Guide Dogs Australia.  It was with sadness that the Society learnt of the passing of one of their very earliest members with the recent death of Mr George Jago at the age of 93 years.  Over the years, George had contributed numerous photographs and history articles to the Society and he will be missed.
