Back to Iron Knob for the weekend

29 Sep, 2010 11:30 PM
Iron Knob residents are inviting everyone to spend the October long weekend in Iron Knob as part of their Back to Iron Knob event.

The weekend will begin on Saturday, October 2 and will kick off with the opening of the Tina Taylor Gazebo.

Progress Association chairperson Dave Evans said the Tina Taylor Gazebo was being opened in honour of Tina Taylor, who volunteered her time in and around Iron Knob before she passed away at a young age.

Mr Evans said tea would be held at the bowls club on Saturday night for a cost of $8.

On Sunday, guests and residents will be treated to a big breakfast at the golf club, for $8 and the opening of the wall of honour and the bush kitchen will take place during the day.

Following the opening ceremonies a lunch will be held for a cost of $2.

Entertainment will be provided on Sunday night at the Iron Knob Pub with Just Me performing.

Meals and drinks will be provided at reasonable prices, and entry to entertainment is free.

Mr Evans said it would be an enjoyable weekend for all and would provide an opportunity for current and former residents to reunite in a social setting.

"We've already heard from quite a few people from various places in Australia that they will be attending," he said.

"We are looking forward to seeing how the weekend turns out, and catching up with old and current Iron Knob residents."

Mr Evans said the event was being organised by the Iron Knob Progress Association, however, other community groups from Iron Knob had assisted the association in organising the event.

Limited accommodation is available, however there will be space and toilets available at the camping area.

An RSVP is appreciated so organisers can cater for all visitors.

I would love to hear any stories about Albert Kellow who was a turf adviser for Iron Knob in the thirties and forties. I believe he lived in Fowler's Bay and was known as "the Duke".

I would be grateful for any information about him at all.
