Botany, Ormiston and Flat Bush Community Networking Meeting
Community halls are considered to be like “a glue that binds the public together”. Last week MECOSS held its Botany, Ormiston, Flat Bush Community Networking Meeting in the Old Flat Bush School Hall; a building of significance dating back to settlers’ times.
Built in the mid-19th century, this simple but warm and intimate wooden rural structure, started its life as a school in Baverstock Road. In 1893 the school was moved to its present location, but closed in 1929. With the building no longer required by the Education Department it fell into disrepair and was used by local farmers as a hay barn. In 1976 Flat Bush residents held an informal meeting to see what could be done about promoting a sense of community. The outcome resulted with the establishment of the Flat Bush Community Group and the Old Flat Bush School Hall became the focus of attention. Funding was raised and members restored the building to its former glory. In 1981 the hall was reopened as a community facility.
MECOSS salutes the Flat Bush Community Group for their hard work. The hall is suitable for family events and community events. For bookings and more information please contact Tina on 022 154 3941

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?
