Last week a group of students from Mansfield Secondary College were welcomed at the Jamieson and District Historical Society Museum, by former President of the Society Marion McRostie.

The students were delighted with the tour of the courthouse building, now the Jamieson Museum and the historical presentation of the courtroom layout.

It was a very busy court in those days, with a visiting magistrate attending regularly.

Many stories of life in Jamieson during the early days of the Gold Rush and increased population of citizens and supply venues are recorded.

One of the many services the society provides is finding connections to former residents by visitors inquiring about family histories in the area.

On the fun side the students found the costume box in another room and dressed up for the occasion.

The costumes are stored at the museum by the Jamieson Theatre Workshop group, with costumes previously worn at the very successful burlesque concerts held at the former Lakeside Hotel and Motel during the 1980s and 90s.

Local residents Jacqui and Russell Bate have recently returned from a wonderful trip to England and Spain.

The couple are experienced sporting fishers.

Enjoying the English terrain they decided to fish in the Test River known for its trout fishing success.

Well this time Russell said “the fish were not rising”.

Over the two days with three family members fishing, they caught one trout.

That has to be a record.

The couple travelled to Spain and enjoyed the cuisine, dining, culture and terrain.

Last Tuesday, seven Jamieson volunteers armed with suitable tools arrived at Jamieson Island, for a tidy up pre-Cup Weekend in preparation for the many home owners and visitors expected for the break.

This group are tireless with their commitment to Jamieson.
