Underbool Progress Group Inc. Rescheduled AGM.
Due to low attendance at the AGM on Wednesday 6th September a quorum was not met, the meeting was postponed until Monday 2nd October 2023 at 7.00pm at the Underbool Linga Hall.
We understand that many of our community members are busy and may feel they do not have time to devote to another committee, job, or group but we require at least 2/3 of our members to attend a meeting. If you volunteer at the shop, you are a member. If you are on the Pink Lakes Pantry Committee, you are a member.
The Underbool Progress Group (UPG) is an incorporated group that provides support and events to the community including the following:
- Australia Day Celebrations and guest speaker
- ANZAC Day commemorations
- Remembrance Day commemorations
- Community Christmas decorations
- Christmas Eve Santa in the park
- Christmas Eve Santa home visits for elderly and sick.
- Pink Lakes Pantry auspice (governing body)
- Consultation with MRCC on projects and plans
- Grant applications for community projects
- Public Liability insurance for events
- Letters of support for local groups and organisations for grants. (Underbool Swimming Pool Starting Blocks, Underbool Bowls synthetic lawn, and other grants that are in progress)
- Raising and lowing of flags for commemorations and local deaths
The UPG needs committee members and the support of the community to keep the above events and support going. Should the group not make a quorum we will need to go into recess and assess the terms of reference and constitution. All items listed above will cease until alternative groups take them on. HOWEVER, most important of all is that the Pink Lake Pantry (PLP) would have to cease trading until it becomes a business itself.
Please come and support your towns meeting to be held on
Monday the 2nd of October 7pm at the Hall.
All positions will be declared vacant, there will be presentations from our current President, Treasurer, Pink Lake Pantry, Greening the line, MRCC, Discussion of the TOR between PLP and UPG and future plans for the Country Women’s Room.
If you have any question, please talk to a committee member, ring or message Bev Cummings on 0401155637 or email underboolprogressgroup@outlook.com

Pink Lakes Pantry Footy Tipping
We once again decided to remove the score board from the shop after round 20, so the final results would be a surprise. It was so close right up to the last round. We ended up with two winners on 146, one runner up on 145. Winners - Darby Beasley and Colin Lockett – 146 Runner up – Gary Crow - 145
Thank you to the Bowls Club for allowing us to hold our EYO evening and presentations on Thursday of last week. We all enjoyed some nibbles and a few drinks. The Tipping Competition has helped bring our small community together and has given us something to share and talk about throughout the year. I think the fact that we can enjoy one another’s company at any age is a wonderful thing. Looking forward to Season 2024. Colleen, Noelene, Scott & Paul
