(She/Her). I have been on the Board of Management for five years and President for a year and a half. I joined the Board of Management as I always utilised the centre for programs and activities for both myself and my now adult children and an opportunity came up to be able to give back to the community.

I have been on the Committee for about 3-4 years. The Community Centre is one of the only things we have in Blind Bight and it brings a wide variety of activities and opportunities to locals. We have one of the most amazing communities here, and the centre brings people together from all walks of life, strengthens bonds and provides cost effective activities, entertainment, educational opportunities and supports such as occasional care and playgroups. I hope to see more activities and more people from the Blind Bight and Coastal Villages utilisng this amazing facility to its full potential. I hope the Centre can offer even more activities to try to reach out and attract more locals to use this as a real community hub.

Personal interests: Passionate Cats fan; Wife Jacqui, daughter Mollie and son Logan; Motorbike (Road) rider and love anything to do with music.

I have spent many years at the community centre with sincere passion. I was for many years president for approximately 14 years. During that time we created a fantastic committee group and had many dedicated committee members who were at all times ready to pitch in with help whether it be clean ups or organisation of functions. I will always have an extreme passion for our community centre. My vision for the future is that people join in and experience the future of our precious community.

I am a long time resident of over thirty years of this beautiful coastal area. I am employed as a playgroup faciliitator and involved and host in many musical community and open mic events at the Blind Bight Community Centre. I have various qualifications in mechanical, hospitality, training and assessment certifications.

I have great family morals, values and qualities and get to see a different side of life being a stay home parent for ten years which is very rewarding and challenging job in itself. I love my children 2yrs, 4 yrs and 10yrs of age being part of all aspects of life.

My interests in cars dynamic, from building engines to vehicle service and restoration. I hope to study for an early childhood career in the future and to enjoy this great community for many years and to be involved and host different events for this great hearted community.

I am a local resident with a love for all things creative! I have spent most of my career working in the early childhood sector and have always enjoyed bringing my passion for art to children. I believe art should be fun, explorative and always done with music playing! It is my aim to create a space where students feel encouraged to celebrate their individual creativity while growing their skills and knowledge as artists.

I’m the Bookkeeper for Blind Bight Community Centre and am also a mother of 3 beautiful children.

I started with Blind Bight Community Centre in early 2022 after taking over from the previous Bookkeeper. I started with continuing to use the MYOB Accounting Program, but have now changed over to Xero. I support the Treasurer, Committee and all staff to ensure that our finances are managed appropriately, reports are prepared & staff are paid correctly.

I live outside of the Coastal Villages area, but have come to thoroughly enjoy the coast and bushland area around Blind Bight.

Having lived a life that is focused on being involved in community activities, I am happy to be promoting this wonderful centre and to assist with the promotion of events and programs.

I have a long standing marketing and event management career, working with community art galleries, community health, performing arts festivals, philanthropic organisations and volunteer management.

I absolutely love living in this nature wonderland and enjoy being an amatuer photographer, a dedicated bird nerd and the curator of my own vintage clothing business.

My name is Trish. I moved to this area about 8 years ago and have been a volunteer ever since, enjoying aending and helping with various local events.

My interests are permaculture and sustainable living which led me to being involved in the creation of the community garden at BBCC, being the co-ordinator of a monthly garden group and arranging a local monthly crop swap.

I love growing food and sharing produce with the lovely local residents and listening to stories about their gardens over a shared cuppa. The garden group welcomes everyone - from those who want to learn some basics to others who are happy to share their considerable knowledge.
