Murchison & District Historical Society wants to develop an orientation/training programme for young people – i.e. 14 – 18yo’s – to become volunteers for their historical society. Isn’t that a great idea? If your historical society has any experience in developing or running such a program, Kay Ball from Murchison would love to hear from you. {murch.hs@outlook.com}

The RHSV thinks that this idea is worth putting effort into and seeing if we can develop a template that can be adopted by many historical societies. To facilitate this I’ve organised a Zoom meeting for 11am Tuesday 4 February 2025 for everyone interested to get together and share ideas and experiences and to work out what can be done. So please do join Kay and me on Zoom and bring your ideas and enthusiasm and we’ll see what we can nut out together.

Kay Ball from Murchison says, “I have 15 x 2 hour sessions in mind (includes morning tea), that will be held on Saturdays and then some weekdays during school holidays. Planning on starting with about 8 in the group with two adults mentoring. Our volunteers have backgrounds in teaching, retail and business management as well as a passion for history so should be a good fit!”
