Mareeba School of Arts Meeting Amid Donations and Repairs

The Mareeba School of Arts held its monthly meeting with the new committee chaired by Pearce. Plans included accepting GF Smith’s £3 tender for sash repairs, a fundraiser for Mrs Colquhoun, and a patriotic entertainment proposed for April 3. The group discussed book and works committees, appointing a repair focus for the torcher office, and funding needs as the school seeks public support for upcoming events. The note highlights long-standing support, wartime service impacts, and local civic involvement including Mr. Sheppard’s horse sale.
