Mackay Rural Production Society Incorporated (MRPS) held its Annual General Meeting on 20 September at City Bowls Club, Shakespeare Street, where volunteers served a hearty roast meal followed by dessert.
Formed in 1982 as an offshoot of the former Tropical Grassland Society, MRPS brings together like-minded people — not only from farming backgrounds — who enjoy exploring agricultural and rural enterprises. Over the years, members have travelled widely, from the Ord River in WA and the NT to Tasmania, northern NSW, and countless destinations across Queensland.
“There have been too many interesting places to mention them all, but every trip has been educational and memorable,” said long-time member Gail Volker.
At the AGM, outgoing president Rob Roles handed over leadership to incoming president Dan Kennedy, while secretary Kim Roles and treasurer Shirley Watt were re-elected unopposed.
Life Membership was awarded to Robert and Lyn Denman, along with Herb and Marie Robke, who each received badges and plaques from past president Lindsay Williams.
While membership numbers have declined since the society’s early days, MRPS members continue to enjoy regular trips and outings, with plans for more commercial tours in the future. New members are warmly welcomed.
