At the VIC SIG meeting on Saturday 20 August, Edwina Shooter, the new VIC SIG Convenor, presented Keith with a book voucher for $50.00 and a one year WAGS membership as a thank you for all he had done for the Group. 

Over the ten years that Keith had the helm he ensured the Group had interesting meetings and guest speakers, he was always to the forefront representing the Group at Open Days and Chat Sessions. Keith was the ‘Victorian' face for phone calls and ‘Can You Help' as well as a personal support and guide to assist folk demolish their ‘Brick Walls'.

Graham Bown, WAGS President, recalled the early days of WAGS and said that the development of the Special Interest Groups commenced after WAGS moved to the May Street premises. He thanked Keith for his involvement in the VIC SIG.

Keith made a brief reply and announced his intention to remain a member and carry on in the Library on his rostered Monday morning shift.

Thank you Keith.
