The piano goes to a new home.

Piano to get a new lease of life!

At the top end of the Hazelwood South Hall there is a small purpose built stage.  On the stage is the old out of tune run down piano.

Today this piano has been removed to go to a good home.  The new owners are not paying anything for the Piano.  Instead they are refurbishing the piano, then getting it tuned.  When it is finished the partner will be playing it as she is a professional opera piano player.

We wish them well in their care of the Piano that has basically sat in the corner for nearly fifty years.

Equipment finding a good home.

The tents are gradually being upgraded.  The old canvas tents and the light weight tents without poles have been given away to a camp facility.  The new owners will be mending, fixing and using these tents.

We are happy that they are doing the refurnishing and treatment needed to keep these tents in good order.  Especially since neither of the leaders here can breath in the chemicals that are used nor have the actual cash themselves to part with in order to do these things as needed.

At a later date the rest of the old equipment in the camp room will be gone through as well. Most not being suitable for the young girls of today to learn and practice with... according to the years that the Guides have been saying this same thing.

Create the meeting with what is at hand

Is the effect what the hall is designed for?
Table setting are a large part of 'creating the atmosphere' .

Intrinsically people behaviour matches the degree of pomp and ceremony that a setting is catering for. The wrong setting effects the atmosphere and thus the outcome.

When I entered a reception hall at Caulfield, Melbourne, I was impressed at the table layouts.  People who came to the gathering did dress 'upwards' to meet the occasion.

When the table settings are average for a higher class of speakers, guests and complimentary meal style the behaviour may tone down but the 'dress' sense carries thought to the behaviour expected.

Although the Hazelwood South Hall has the long tables available the legs are in need of repair. There are chairs and long stools.  The chair numbers are down due to the thief's.   When used in a setting of adults the Long wooden benches are not applicable to adult usage as the adult in the middle has to climb over their seat  or disturb others just to get back to their spot.  Lifting their legs to climb back into the spot vacated is a real lowering of table conversation!

However that said when the setting is for children these social etiquette rules have not been established.  The long wooden benches are

  • designed for the children's usage at the tables.
  • To be placed around the walls of the Hazelwood South Hall.
  • Placed in a herring bone situations for public access at public meetings. 
 Predominately the Hazelwood South Hall is designed for children's use.

Anyone wanting to use the hall for 'other than children' settings must supply their own matching tables and chairs.  Thus the effect that they want to convey will be both effective and efficient. Meeting their needs.

Seen from the road

Encouraging a more private 'Back Yard" at the hall.

When I am driving along Tramway road [towards Churchill] I glance to my Right and check the shrub growth.  Yes the shrubs appear to be growing.

I have four more shrubs to place along this 'fence' line. Two are Calistomons.  Calistamons apparently draw up more water than the weeping willows.  These two will be idea for this area as it always has been more wet that other areas around.
