Gold and Coal Festival 2017 - cancelled contributed by Danny McKay
Unfortunately due to a lack of numbers at the Gold and Coal Festival meeting held on Tuesday March 7, we were unable to form a Committee to run the 2017 Gold and Coal Festival and as a result the Festival is cancelled. We will call for a Committee early in 2018 with the hope of running the Festival in 2018. It may become a 2 yearly event. The Festival has served as a valuable platform for several events over the years including the Q150, 100 years of settlement in Clermont and the 100 year Flood Remembrance, all of which were remarkable events of which the Committees were immensely proud. I do think that the Gold and Coal Festival has a place in our Community to help with Tourism and to promote and celebrate our rich history in mining and agriculture.
I would to thank our Committee members both past and present for their efforts over the years and hope a new Committee can be formed for next year to continue this event. I would also like to thank the Clermont Community and Businesses for its enormous support over the years. The Gold and Coal Festival Committee will still host the Senior Citizens Christmas luncheon early December 2017. We live in a great community, be proud and give your support. Many thanks Danny McKay.

Details of the events will be posted on the Facebook page : “Growing up in Clermont”. We are looking for interested community groups to assist with organising the dinner in the Civic Centre on Saturday August 19 and breakfast/lunch Sunday August 20.
This would be a significant fundraising event for the community group involved. If you are interested in liaising with us please email csscapsule2017@gmail.com
