We'd like to announce the success of our newest project - the Cohuna of Yesteryear time travel machine. It's been a long time coming, but volunteers have been successful in converting the old Macorna switchboard into a time machine that will take you back to any time in Cohuna's history**.

Simply use the dialler to input the year you want to travel back to, plug in the appropriate lead (full instructions provided) and, before you know it, you'll be transported back to the Cohuna of yesteryear.

A big thanks to the few volunteers who worked on this project and were sworn to secrecy until we were ready to release it to the public.

**Disclaimer - Sometimes the machine glitches and we can't guarantee you can return back to present time, sorry. We are working hard to get it right.

Can you help a bloke out? This is Ross. Ross is our number one sports researcher. There isn’t much about local sports history he doesn’t know. Ross loves local sport and has stacks of handwritten notes. What he doesn’t love so much is typing. What about you? Do you love typing?

Ross is looking for someone who can type up his notes (and probably someone he can rattle off some fun sports facts to). Do you have some spare time? Can you help Ross? It can be whenever it suits you, and you won’t be locked into an ongoing role (unless you want to be).

What do you say – can you help a bloke out?

Our Trash and Treasure is run by some amazing volunteers - but there's just not enough of them. Can you help? If you can spare a couple of hours a week to work a shift, we'd love you to join the team. These are volunteer roles, but that doesn't make them any less rewarding. Call in to see the team on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday morning, or head into the archives and see Sheila or Jeanette to find out more.

Know your way around a computer? Maybe you could help us. :-) We're looking for people who can help with data entry and assisting us to digitise records. Is this you? No special qualifications needed, just a familiarisation with computers and a desire to help our wonderful team preserve Cohuna's history (or even if you're not into the history side of things but love the computer work, that works too!).

Call into the Archives Centre during the week - mornings are best - and see what's involved in these volunteer roles.

Cohuna Secondary College Theatre Restaurants - who remembers them? The Theatre Restaurant made a stunning return this year after a long hiatus.

Do you have any photos/footage of past Theatre Restaurants? The Secondary College is on the hunt for past photos and footage. If you have any, Jeanette in the archives will copy them for you and pass it onto the college. Call into the Archives Centre to see Jeanette during the week.

A call out to anyone who would like to help with or find out more about the town's 150th anniversary celebration - please attend the meeting on Tuesday, September 2. We have a lot of history to celebrate, but can't do it unless people in the community put their hands up and help with the planning.
