The Trustees of the St Albans Common held a series of events over the period of 2019 – 2021. These included working groups, information sharing opportunities, musters, training sessions, an annual gala night, dinners and the documentation and recording of local history to foster social connectedness.
The events provided residents with much needed reprieve, and the opportunity to connect with others in the community who share the same experiences.
Feedback from the night was positive, with quotes from community members including:
“This drought certainly takes its toll on everyone and to be able to get out of the house and mingle with the community is certainly a great feeling. Thank you to everyone for all of their efforts to bring the night together.”
“Absolutely blown away… tonight was such a special and memorable night for me, my family and the local community for St Albans. Tonight was a chance for the community and farmers to come together and have a night off as such, to let our hair down and have a good night.”
The Trustees hope to be able to continue with some of the events once COVID-19 restrictions ease.
