We thought this winter would be a good time to start sharing some learnings from the fires. Covid 19 got in the way a bit, but summer will come again.</span></span></div></div><div><span><span><br></span></span></div><div><div><span><span>Both Tim Holsworth (Bermagui RFS Captain) and Martin Wraight (Bermagui SES Captain) encouraged The Crossing to make this happen!</span></span></div></div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>We thought the best place to help communication is by renewing phone and email lists on a road by road basis with each road having someone taking a lead role to update and look after their list. Please put up your hand or nominate a road coordinator for the roads below and feel free to copy this to people on your road to get them started. The Crossing has also started a collective facebook group (link above) so that people can share good ideas across all the roads or have a one road discussion if they choose to.</span></span></div><div><span><span><br></span></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>All initial road meetings will be held at The Crossing 392 Nutleys Ck Rd. Meetings are held in a covid safe undercover area beside our Community Hall. We use social distancing and a seated small table 'World Cafe' format with a range of questions for the small table groups to discuss. Meetings held on Sundays from 2-4pm. Limit of 20 per meeting so please rsvp by email to your road coordinator or to <a href="mailto:dean@thecrossingland.org.au" target="_blank">dean@thecrossingland.org.au</a> if you do not yet have a road coordinator – one person per household </span></span><span><span>as it helps to keep track of who is coming for Covid safe reasons.</span></span></div></div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>If you can’t get to your own road meeting at The Crossing please ask another road coordinator to come to their road meeting if that Sunday suits you better, as issues will be similar.</span></span></div><div><span><span><br></span></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>There will likely be follow-up meetings back at each road and we expect that roads will become self-organising for these meetings keeping the Bermagui Fire Edge Facebook group informed of any new ideas and actions so we can share the good news across all the roads. We will also copy your road's actions to road coordinators to also share by email to the road list.</span></span></div></div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>26 July - Nutleys, Black Marlin & Mangnans (great result, 20 people in the rain, 5 actions recommended by group)</span></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>coordinator: Dean Turner <a href="mailto:dean@thecrossingland.org.au" target="_blank">dean@thecrossingland.org.au</a></span></span></div></div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>16 August - Coolagolite Rds: Lyrebird Ridge, Green Tyrells, Rilys Rd with Blair Close, Westrops, Ridge Rd & houses on forest section of Cobargo Bermagui Rd (great result, 14 people, 6 main findings)<br></span></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>coordinator for Lyrebird/Green Tyrells/ Ridge Rd: Ashley Fuller <a href="mailto:brashley2@icloud.com" target="_blank">brashley2@icloud.com</a>, Westrops has a Facebook Group, coordinator for Blair/Rilys: Colin Jack <a href="mailto:twosticks@acr.net.au" target="_blank">twosticks@acr.net.au</a></span></span></div></div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>30 August - Head of Cuttagee, Bermagui Tathra Rd to Cuttagee & Barraga Bay</span></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>coordinator for Head of Cuttagee Meg Connor? <a href="mailto:meglin10@bigpond.com" target="_blank">meglin10@bigpond.com</a> coordinator for Barraga Bay: ?</span></span></div></div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>6 September - George St Bermagui</span></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>coordinator for George St: Rebecca Perry <a href="mailto:temperry@gmail.com" target="_blank">temperry@gmail.com</a></span></span></div></div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>13 September - Benny Gowings, Murrah River, Hergenhans & Bermagui Tathra Rd around Murrah Hall - Coordinator Gary Pearse <a href="mailto:gpearse@ozemail.com.au" target="_blank">gpearse@ozemail.com.au</a></span></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>gathering for these roads now to be addressed as part of a multi Services 'Get Ready Day' currently in planning for Bermagui coordinated by Red Cross addressing options and actions for property preparation and future fires as well as more info about support and communication.</span></span></div></div><div><span><span><br></span></span></div><div><div><span><span>26 September – Fairhaven Point Rd</span></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>coordinators Lyn Williamson <a href="mailto:lyn.williamson7@bigpond.com" target="_blank">lyn.williamson7@bigpond.com</a> and Tony King & Kris Ralph: <a href="mailto:tonykris@bigpond.net.au" target="_blank">tonykris@bigpond.net.au</a></span></span></div></div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>18 October – Beauty Point & Wallaga Heights</span></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>coordinator for Beauty Point: Dave Bulman: <a href="mailto:plantago1@bigpond.com" target="_blank">plantago1@bigpond.com</a></span></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>coordinator for Wallaga Heights: Bill Southwood <a href="mailto:bill.southwood@optusnet.com.au" target="_blank">bill.southwood@optusnet.com.au</a></span></span></div></div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>1 November - Akelele</span></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>coordinator for Akelele: Sean Burke <a href="mailto:burkesean53@gmail.com" target="_blank">burkesean53@gmail.com</a></span></span></div></div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>22 November – Regathering to follow up joint issues raised with all road coordinators plus one or two others from each road group.</span></span></div></div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div><div><div><span><span>Please forward this to other people on your road and hopefully someone will put up a hand to be a road coordinator.
