RECOLLECTIONS
Memories shine for AusTIS nine at Tatts A LUNCH at Brisbane’s historic Tattersall’s Club was seasoned by more than 380 combined years in the forest and timber industries when nine members of the 1982 Sunshine AusTIS conference committee shared memories at the historic venue. The 27th Australian Timber Industry Stabilisation Conference, titled The Challenge of Change, was held at Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast in June 1982 and attracted more than 400 delegates and partners. The first conference in Sydney on March 29, 1943 – then called the Eastern States Timber Supply Stabilisation Conference – forged a united front between forestry and the
timber industry. Enjoying the day at Tattersall’s are seated, from left Dick Pegg (forestry) and David Armstrong (industry), and, standing, Jim Bowden (timber journalist), Don Towerton (industry), David Gough (forestry), Keith Jennings (forestry), Bill Philip (industry), Charlie Henry (industry) and Gary Bacon (forestry). The annual forestry vs industry snooker game was a disappointment for industry members. A dinner evening to celebrate 30 years since Sunshine AusTIS is planned for next year. Speakers and delegates who participated in the conference are invited to attend.
