While Jennifer currently is caught up in marking the two hundredth anniversary of establishment of the penal colony at Moreton Bay and the genesis of Brisbane Town\, she continues to enjoy her role as patron of the Genealogical Society of Queensland. \n  \nDr Dot Wickham\nEarly Moreton Bay ships – The vessels that connected Moreton Bay to the world. \n  \n \nDr Dorothy Wickham is a Director of Ballarat Heritage Services\, educator\, author and historian.

General records of immigration are considered\, as well as looking in more details at the immigration of members of the Roma and Traveller Communities\, those of the Jewish father and Huguenots.

SUMMARY:Writing Interest Group Meeting Dates 2026
DESCRIPTION:Writing Interest Group\n\nAims: \n\n\n\nto provide a forum in which members can learn more about the writing\, editing\, and publishing processes.\nmeetings will include discussion and presentations. Guest speakers will be invited from time to time.\nmembers are invited to submit pieces of writing for comment and suggestions by other members.\n\n\n\n\nMeetings: Meetings are held on the 3rd Sunday of even months of the year\, unless otherwise advertised. Via ZOOM. \n2026: 15th Feb; 19th April; 21st June; 16th Aug; 18th Oct. \nThe Writing Group was formed in 2012 and grew out of two education sessions presented in 2011. We meet five times per year except December. From our beginnings as a small cohort of 10 members to a regular attendance of between 20-30\, the group’s activities have also evolved. \nAs at June 2021 our meetings are held virtually via Zoom from 10am to 12 noon. It is hoped that we can have a mix of Zoom and face-to-face meetings in the future to provide members with the opportunity to do some personal research as well as engage with other members over morning tea and lunch\, as well as meet the needs of those members who do not use Zoom. \nThe format for the meeting varies depending on the main topic to be discussed. Regular features include short practice sessions on a random topic; review of writing submitted by members in advance; an opportunity for members to share their achievements. Main topics we have covered include grammar\, writing and style\, evidence and proof\, citation and referencing\, copyright\, different formats and structures for family histories\, and many more. We have had guest speakers from time to time. \nMembers are encouraged to share their writing as group members may be able to provide suggestions for enhancing the style\, format\, etc. All comments are constructive\, and the writer has discretion on whether to accept them or not. It does help\, however\, to have input from those not connected with a story. \nGroup members are at different stages of their writing; some are published authors\, whereas others are just beginning. It is exciting to note that most of the winners of the Joan Reese Memorial Short Story Competition are members of the Writing Group. We regularly review how the group operates in order to meet the differing needs of beginning and more experienced writers. \nAttendees are asked to contribute a gold coin donation. \n\nContact Convenor Pauline Williams on writing@gsq.org.au for the Zoom Link or further Information.
