Hear about what the Friends have been doing over the past year -- and we have some surprising and exciting news to share with you.</font></p> <p style="line-height: 25px;"><font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 18px;"><font color="#000000">After the brief formalities, we are delighted to welcome our guest speaker,&nbsp;</font><strong style="font-family: Tahoma;"><strong>Eleanor Cave</strong></strong><span style="">, TMAG Deputy Director, Research and Collections.</span></font></p> <p style="line-height: 25px;"><font color="#000000" face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 18px;">We’ll provide morning tea at the conclusion of the meeting.</font></p> <p style="line-height: 25px;"><font color="#000000" face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 18px;">Don’t be nervous about attending the AGM. The formalities take very little time, and since our constitution doesn’t allow nominations from the floor, you won’t come away with an unanticipated place on the committee.</font></p> <p style="line-height: 25px;"><font face="Tahoma" color="#333333" style="font-size: 18px;">This is of course a FREE EVENT. We look forward to seeing you!&nbsp;</font></p> <p style="line-height: 25px;"></p> https://friendsoftmag.org.au/event-6827381 https://friendsoftmag.org.au/event-6827381 Mon, 05 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT <p><img src="https://friendsoftmag.org.au/resources/Pictures/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-03%20at%208.20.30%20pm.png" alt="" title="" border="0"><img src="https://friendsoftmag.org.au/resources/Pictures/Screenshot%202026-09-08%20at%203.50.13_pm.png" alt="" title="" border="0"><br></p> <p style="line-height: 25px;"><font face="Tahoma" color="#000000" style="font-size: 30px;">A botanical walk at the Waterworks</font></p> <p style="line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"><font face="Tahoma" color="#000000" style="font-size: 30px;"><br></font></p> <p style="line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"><font color="#000000" face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 24px;"><strong style="">Tuesday 6 October, 10am</strong></font></p> <p style="line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"><font color="#000000" face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 24px;"><font><strong>Shelter 9 at the Waterworks</strong></font>,</font></p> <p style="line-height: 28px;"><font color="#000000" face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 24px;">Waterworks Road, Ridgeway</font></p> <p><br></p> <p style="line-height: 25px;"><font color="#000000" face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 18px;">Staff members from the Tasmanian Herbarium have very kindly offered to take the Friends on a botanical walk at the Waterworks to see what we can find. We’ll learn about the function of the Herbarium and what has to be done to preserve collected specimens.&nbsp;</font></p> <p style="line-height: 25px;"><font color="#000000" face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 18px;">We will walk a short distance around the Waterworks — wear sensible shoes and bring a hat, but you won’t need any specialised bushwalking gear.&nbsp;</font></p> <p style="line-height: 25px;"><font color="#000000" face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 18px;">The walk and talk aspect will run for about an hour. You are then welcome to stay for morning tea. As we aren’t able to provide hot drinks, bring your own liquid refreshments and we will put on the food.</font></p> <p style="line-height: 25px;"><span style=""><font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 18px;">Shelter 9 is about 900 metres from the reserve entrance. There is ample parking, undercover seating and toilets close to the shelter. The section of track nearby is easy walking. This event will go ahead regardless of the weather.&nbsp;</font></span></p> <p style="line-height: 25px;"><font face="Tahoma" color="#000000" style="font-size: 18px;">Because numbers are limited to 30, this event is for Friends members only. We recommend you book early to avoid disappointment.</font></p> <p style="line-height: 25px;"><font face="Tahoma" color="#000000" style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>Cost: $25 per person</strong></font></p> <p style="line-height: 25px;"><font face="Tahoma" color="#000000" style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>BYO thermos and cup, and we will provide a generous morning tea.</strong></font></p> <p style="line-height: 25px;"><font style="font-size: 18px;"><a href="mailto:admin@friendsoftmag.org.au">Please email us</a> if you are gluten free or have other dietary requirements.</font></p> https://friendsoftmag.org.au/event-6832612 https://friendsoftmag.org.au/event-6832612
