"If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door!" - Milton Berle The quote emphasizes the importance of taking initiative and creating your own opportunities rather than waiting for them to come to you. It suggests that individuals should not blame fate for a lack of opportunities but instead take proactive steps to forge their own paths. This mindset encourages self-determination and the pursuit of personal goals.

 Pauline presented a synopsis of the Draft Community Plan THE DRAFT BATHURST COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN 2025 -2045 All documentation is available on Bathurst Regional Council's your Say website. Why is it important? Those of you who may still be here in 2025 to see the results, please throw a party to see if it passed the pub test. Documents such as the Draft Community Strategic Plan evolve as each new council reviews and updates what has been achieved by the former council and builds on the next stage. Following the public review for this draft which closed last week, it will be endorsed at a meeting on the 18th June. Built on the 2040 Bathurst Community Engagement plan, the Community Strategic Plan outlines the community's priorities, vision and strategic directions for the future.

 MORE than two dozen Bathurst women left their families and life as they knew it behind to provide extraordinary care to soldiers on the battlefields during World War I. Muriel Wakeford was one of two Australian nurses known to have witnessed the Australian troops landing at Gallipoli from her vantage point on a hospital ship, and her recollections of the war have survived a century. Then there was Maud Kellet, who ran a 2500-bed hospital on the western front, ensuring every wounded soldier was given the best chance of survival. Towards the end of the war, she helped to round up all the records of Australian servicemen, in particular their medical records, so their care and treatment could be continued at home.

On 22 January, Erik Mol gave a talk about the names of Streets in Bathurst See the link here: https://www.bathurst.nsw.gov.au/files/assets/public/v/1/council/plans-policies/street_names_2022.pdf He told us about origin of the Name Howick Street Charles Grey, a British Whig, (later known as the Liberal Party), was a statesman and British Prime Minister. Grey was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, and was elected to Parliament at the age of 22 in 1786. He was noted for advocating Parliamentary reform and Catholic emancipation. In 1806, Grey, then known as Lord Howick, because of his father’s elevation to the peerage as Earl Grey, became a part of the “Ministry of All the Talents” as First Lord of the Admiralty. Lord Howick soon took over as both Foreign Secretary and leader of the Whigs. The Government fell from power the next year and Howick went to the Lords the same year, succeeding his father as Earl Grey. He continued in opposition for the next 23 years. In 1830, the Whigs finally returned to power, with Grey as Prime Minister. His Ministry was responsible for the Great Reform Bill of 1832, the first major step towards modern parliamentary democracy, in the teeth of opposition from the Duke of Wellington, his predecessor in 10 Downing Street which finally saw the reform of the House of Commons, and the abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire in 1833
