During Lunch it was an opportunity for Helen Dugdale Vice Chair of Wincott to present Kate Schwager with a gift from the Wincott Committee for her 8 years of Service to the group.
Helen thanked Kate for her help in starting the group which now boasts 6 Gold Sponsors, a website, a quarterly Newsletter and network of over 280 women in the cotton industry and related industries. Kate was presented with an engraved glass tray. Kate will be now full time in her own website business Webteam Australia.
“I would not be where I am if it had not been for the skills that I have learnt by being a part of this fabulous network. I now have my own business with partner Ruth Quigley from Trangie whom I met through the Wincott group.
I have met some wonderful people and have had a great deal of supportfrom throughout the industry and I thank everyone who gave me the opportunity to do this. I wish the network the best of luck for the future and hope that many more of these informative days will be on the calendar. Kate said
After lunch Natalee Cook from Beauty Matters informed the group of the care one must take to fight the rays of the sun when outdoors. Natalee had a few examples of some of the product sold at her shop and the simple brush on make-up that is available, that can protect your skin from the sun.
John O'Connor gave the women a run down on the Digital Photography Course that he is running at TAFE. Which inspired a number of women to look into attending and John gave away a few tips on software available on the net for those who were inspired. “Something that you are never to old to learn about” John said.
Helen Dugdale one of the organisers of the day said “All of the speakers were terrific and covered a wide range of information. The people attending gave feedback, that the information day was very informative and worthwhile. More are planned for the future”.
The information day finished with a tour around the TAFE facility with some women learning a few more things about irrigating. The day was a good chance for women involved in the cotton industry to meet others and continue their learning opportunities.
Particular, thanks goes to the TAFE and Anne Coote for hosting the day, and to all the speakers who gave up their time to inform and educate us.
The New Publicity Officer/Secretary for Wincott is Meg Kummerow, from Dalby she will be taking the reins on the 1 June.
