HERITAGE NEWS RMS FORESHORE Redevelopment Committee Our president, Ewan Morrison, has been appointed one of three community advisors on this committee. Congratulations and thank you for leading by example in commitment to local heritage. ESC Heritage Advisory Committee (HAC) Community representative appointments to this advisory committee have been announced and the first meeting of the new committee takes place on October 22nd. All 3 Shire historical societies have automatic representation. Thanks for your work on the community’s behalf. NELLIGEN BRIDGE REPLACEMENT We are to receive a donation of artefacts from the RMS, revealed whilst an archaeological survey of the river bank was undertaken in September. The metalwork appears to have been discarded at some point when punts were operating. RMS wishes to make it a Ministerial hand over, so when items are received they will be accessioned as part of a permanent Bridge Story display.
