A condensed list of responsibilities, are as follows.

1. Pavilion Booking and Access

The Pavilion and Cottage are not only essential facilities for Village and District activities, the revenue from hiring out these facilities is the primary income source for the Progress Association to cover costs such as facilities maintenance, insurances for the Association, Collectors' Club, Men's Shed and Museum, and other community activities.

Those interested in assisting should email or contact any member of the Progress Association Committee.

Full orientation will be given to interested volunteers.

The Progress Association would like to express the deepest appreciation to Tony and Margaret Morris who have faithfully managed these facilities on behalf of the community for decades.
