Tuesday 18th August 2020

Due to not being able to hold meetings for FOGL due to COVID-19  I was asking Erica today is there anything that FOGL could currently assist her with financially.

Hi Everyone

Erica is currently in the process of collecting DVDs at JB HI FI to put together box sets of 3 DVDS for binge sessions that can be borrowed for 2 weeks at a time for members to watch. Classics, Alfred Hitchcock, Australian, Robin Williams, John Candy and Woody Allen, etc.

Erica has also ordered new DVD containers to hold them. Would the committee be happy to assist with money to help purchase the DVDS to make up the box sets? Ross could you please let us know the balance of our account which will also help deciding an amount we as a committee can afford.

Please see attached a copy of the list of DVDS erica has put together as possibilities and feel free to let us know of any you may also think appropriate to go into a box set.

As we are unable to currently hold meetings, this appeared to be a way we could make a decision regarding this.

Please do not hesitate to contact me in regards to this.

Kind Regards

Jasmine Pipe

President

Binge DVD sets FOGL as per the above date had $2,215.19 in our bank account. Members decided to Donate$1000 to our Librarian towards the purchase of DVDs that can be group in sets of three for Library members to borrow and watch.

Presentation of President Report

            Welcome to my 1st President’s report for FOGL when I started thinking about what we as a committee have been involved with in the last financial year I am very proud as I hope all members are, of what we have accomplished.

In the 2018/19 financial year we currently have 7 financial members.

  • In September 2018 we officially launched a FOGL face book page to keep people up to date with events. Currently 27 people have liked the page with 3 new likes in this past week. Although this is a relatively small number it shows that people are interested
  • We began showing movies in October of 2018 and it has been our aim to show movies once a month on a Saturday night extra movies have been shown in school holidays and where possible there has been movies shown on Tuesday mornings, when times are available. The Tuesday movies have been attended by MPS residents as well as other community members. In December FOGL purchased the rights to show Roadshow movies which has seen us be able to show many newer movies to the community including Ladies in Black and Bohemian Rhapsody. The movies are free to watch. The FOGL run a candy bar and there is a Donation jar available if people WISH to donate. A big thank you to the Grenfell men’s shed for assisting us with the production of our Candy Bar trolley.
  • Movie attendance for 2018/19 financial year has been 255 people
  • FOGL has assisted with the purchase of board books that are added to newborn baby information packs and sent to community health to be handed out to new mothers. In the last year Erica has provided approx. 40 packs in two lots of 20.
  • On the 3rd of December 2018 Erica held a “by invitation only” and official opening of the new library refurbishments which FOGL assisted in the supply of morning tea. On the same morning FOGL presented the Country Education Foundation with a cheque for $70 to help assist students finishing school to go on to tertiary studies.
  • 2 street stalls were held to raise funds for FOGL in October 2018 and March 2019. Thank you to all who assisted with these stalls
  • In June we held a Biggest Morning Tea and our guest speaker was Michelle Rohan who gave a great talk on how the local Can Assist committee although small in number can be of great assistance to those who may be in need
  • We also assisted the Librarian with purchasing local Newspapers on microfilm from Jan-Dec 93 and Jan June 94 with FOGL funds.

UPCOMING EVENTS

FOGL will be catering for a men shed morning tea on the 10th of August for approx. 40-50 people

A family movie Dumbo will be held in the cinema on the afternoon of the 10th of August.

In Closing I would like to thank the FOGL members who have assisted in anyway in the past 12 months. It has been greatly appreciated. Special thanks also must go to Anne Gault and Marie Cotter who have helped us with catering when required.

If anyone would like to become a member of FOGL or are willing to give assistance with functions or the regular movies or street stalls Please contact myself on 0400499723 or alternatively leave your contact details with the Librarian and I will contact you personally.

Thank you for a great effort and a great year may we continue to grow in number in the year ahead.
