1) Burra Charter Workshop,
Adelaide – REMINDER
As part of the Burra Charter
development programme, Australia ICOMOS is running a series of workshops
(hopefully at least one in each State and Territory) in order to engage
directly with members about the range of tasks related to the Charter, the
current guidelines and possible future guidelines. For example, these workshops
will supplement information gathered through the electronic surveys and other
research on the use and currency of the guidelines.
The Burra Charter workshop in
Adelaide will be held on Tuesday 1 December, at Mulloway Studio, Level
1, 16 Peel Street, Adelaide, commencing 5.30pm.
Please RSVP to Anthony Coupe (anthony.coupe@mulloway.com / (08) 8231 3131) by COB Friday 27 November.

2) Australia ICOMOS –
Canberra Talk Series
A WELL DEVELOPED BURRA CHARTER & A CHRISTMAS
DRINK!
As part of the Burra Charter
development program, Australia ICOMOS is running a series of workshops in order
to engage directly with members about the range of tasks related to the
Charter, the current guidelines and possible future guidelines. These
workshops will supplement information gathered through the electronic surveys
advertised in the e-news and other research. The workshop will include a
report back on findings so far, as well as explore a range of issues related to
the Charter and its guidelines.
Please come along with your
thoughts and observations about such things as…
§ what do you most appreciate about the
‘new’ Burra Charter?
§
is there anything
you would like to change about the Charter?
§
are the existing
guidelines useful or should they be changed?
§
should we develop
new guidelines and, if so, on what?
Members and the public are
welcome. Christmas refreshments will be available! This is part of
a series of talks organised in Canberra by Australia ICOMOS.
Time & Date: 5.00-6.50 pm, Thursday 3 December 2009 –
the workshop will actually start at 5.10 – so please be on time.
Venue: Menzies Room, National Archives of Australia,
East Block, Queen Victoria Terrace, Parkes (enter from Kings Avenue side).
RSVP: To Duncan Marshall at marsd@ozemail.com.au

3) Invitation to a
‘Vicomite’ Christmas event at Abbotsford Convent
Get your diaries out and
reserve the evening of Monday 7 December, for a Christmas ICOMOS event in
Melbourne. We will be visiting the Abbotsford Convent for a tour of this
fascinating site led by Nigel Lewis, followed by drinks and nibblies. For those
Icomites who went on a tour before the Convent was operational, this will be a
chance to see how it has been transformed.
The Sisters of the Good
Shepherd ran the Abbotsford Convent from 1863 to 1975, leaving behind extensive
gardens and 11 heritage buildings ranging from the main convent building and
cloister to the industrial-scale Magdalen laundries. In this century it has
become an arts centre, providing space for artists’ studios, a
performance venue, a radio station, cafes, restaurants, and much more.
Please join us for a tour of
the site at 5.30 pm (meet at the site entrance off St Heliers Street), then
move to Handsome Steve’s House of Refreshment on the first floor of the
convent building at 6 pm, where nibblies will be provided and drinks available
at the bar, or just join us at Handsome Steve’s from 6pm. Note: this is a
members’ event, though perspective members are welcome to attend as
guests of current members.
Where: Abbotsford Convent, St Heliers Street,
Abbotsford
When: 5.30 pm (tour), 6 pm (drinks), Monday, 7
December
Cost: Tour & nibblies free for ICOMOS members; $5
for guests of members
RSVP: by 2pm, Friday 4 December to austicomos@deakin.edu.au
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4) Burra Charter Development
Program – possible Charter refinements?
As part of the Burra Charter
Development Program, one of the tasks being considered by the Working Group is
the need for possible refinements to the Charter itself. It is 10 years
since the Charter was adopted and we are keen to hear from practitioners and
users about any issues or problems people may have encountered. Following
the major review in the 1990s, it is not expected there are major issues but it
seems possible there may be smaller problems.
Comments will be collated and considered
by the Working Group prior to consultation with both the Executive Committee
and wider membership.
Please send any comments to
Duncan Marshall at marsd@ozemail.com.au by 11 December. It would be helpful if comments could be
structured to:
§ identify the relevant article/s (if the issue relates
to a specific article)
§
describe the
issue briefly, and
§
if possible,
suggest a solution.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5) Fee Rise Reprieve! New
Members Welcome!
Over a number of meetings the
Executive Committee considered the issue of whether membership fees should be
raised. While raising fees is always unpopular, they have remained the
same for the last 4 financial years, and given rising costs and the range of
activities that Australia ICOMOS is involved in – it is a discussion that
must be had! The committee considered a range of issues including current
projects such as the Burra Charter Review, the development of the new website
and the need to develop member services. These and other projected costs
to ICOMOS were balanced against the effects of the economic downturn on our
members, the better $AUD to Euro exchange rate and the fact that recent past
conferences have generally broken even or made modest profits. As a result of
our discussion on the issue we have decided not to raise membership fees at
this time. However a rise in fees is inevitable at some point and we will
review the situation in 6 months time.
So for now you can rest
assured that you are getting excellent value for your membership dollar with
fees fixed at 2006/2007 rates. So for prospective members, there has never been
a better time to join ICOMOS. We have a great conference coming up in Broken
Hill. It is shaping up to be very interesting indeed with great topics and a
diverse range of speakers from Australia and NZ, as well as the UK, US, Asia
and Europe. Please let your friends and colleagues know about the conference
and take advantage of the still low fees to join or encourage others to join.
