• Brooke Lunny at Surf Coast Tourism is moving on, Winchelsea Business & Tourism Association wish her well having enjoyed a very productive relationship.
• the Globe Theatre is enjoying a lot of use by several groups, and has benefitted from a program by joint committees of management of similar properties and the government to update and renovate - the Globe has new kitchen and toilet facilities and is schedule to be re-roofed. The Globe is a significant drawcard for Winchelsea.
• the Winchelsea Festival committee expect $8,000-$9,000 profit from the 2010 festival, a great result considering the weather.
• Barwon Park will be hosting an event by the Geelong Military Re-Enactment Group, all proceeds going to Barwon Park and St Thomas Church (celebrating 150 years and requiring a new roof), scheduled for 8/9 April.
