Genealogy Sunshine Coast is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9.00am til 4.30pm.
Our general meetings are held on the 3rd Saturday of the month, they are free and open to members and visitors.
They are a great opportunity to meet other members and discuss your research.
We share a cuppa and chat from 9.30am and then at 10am have a brief meeting to keep everyone updated with committee decisions.
This is followed by morning tea.
Most months have a theme or show and tell topic, where individual members tell related family stories or anecdotes, in a relaxed, friendly environment - there's no pressure to participate. We also have occasional guest speakers.
You are welcome to stay afterwards to continue your research. Our centre is open until 4.30pm. Why not browse the library while you're here - you never know what you might find!
Saturday 15th November
Topic: Decimal Currency
Do you remember the change to decimal currency?
On the 14th February 1966! The silly jingle we used to sing? Old money boxes or bank books? (remember bank books!) School banking?
Share your anecdotes and memories!
Dollar Bill and his catchy decimal currency conversion jingle (sung to the tune of the Australian folksong 'Click Go the Shears', with lyrics by Ted Roberts) were an instant hit. The commercial featured the voices of actors Kevin Golsby as Dollar Bill and Ross Higgins as Mr Pound.
