Website changes
Submitted by Andi Hazelwood on Thu, 26/06/2008 - 4:45pm.Due to lack of use by the members and because the web mistress will be away for several months, interactive functions of the Bundaberg Organic Gardeners website have been disabled. This includes newsletters, comments, events and the ability for members to post comments or information to the website. The site will continue to serve as a source of information about the club for those interested in learning more or getting involved. Thanks for your interest!

Welcome!
Submitted by admin on Thu, 30/08/2007 - 7:58pm.
Welcome to the new website of the Bundaberg Organic Gardeners group and Bundaberg Seed Savers! In the coming weeks look for photo galleries, an online newsletter archive, and forums for members and interested folks to share ideas.
You can create an account on the left - it will allow you to add comments to the website. And if you're a financial member of the Bundaberg Organic Gardeners or a newsletter subscriber, you will have access to all of the group newsletters online too! We suggest you use your full name (Firstname Lastname) as your username so other members know who you are and to make it easy to remember your login. If you'd like to become a member, contact us!
All meetings of the Bundaberg Organic Gardeners group are held at the "Across The Waves Bowls Club" situated in the "Across The Waves Sports Complex" at the corner of Thabeban and Ritchie Street. This is a 2 storey building with a grandstand attached and our meeting will be in the lower section. The entrance to the complex is in Thabeban Street down from the railway crossing, just look for the sign "Across The Waves Sports Complex" and turn in the gates right next to the sign. Please note this is not at the Across The Waves Club in Miller Street – you must enter off Thabeban Street. Meeting start at 7pm on the last Tuesday of every month. (Doors open at 6.45pm.)
There is a $2 charge per person ($4 for non-members) to cover our costs and tea & coffee will be served after the meeting to give everyone a chance to chat. Financial membership is $15/year for adults and $5/year for children and pays for insurance and allows you to come to the group Field Days. Join us!

Submitted by Dean Hazelwood on Wed, 07/11/2007 - 2:10pm.Take a look at today's Guardian newspaper, it should be on your front lawn somewhere. Mine was under a bush and I almost missed it. In it you will see a nice photo spread and article for the Afternoon with Tom Wyatt, put on by the Bundaberg Organic Gardeners. There are some great photos showing the personalities involved and the sheer volume of people who turned up.
A very professional production. Nicely done everybody!
