VPRS 9941 Correspondence and Minutes

Full description

This series consists of the correspondence and minutes of the SEC Retired Personnel Association.

The organisation was inaugurated at a meeting held on 16 September 1964. One hundred and forty former personnel attended. The meeting unanimously agreed that an association be formed.

Office bearers were elected: Mr D.J. McColl, Chairman; Mr C. Oldfield, Secretary/Treasurer; and G.F. Clark, Assistant Secretary/Treasurer. A constitution was drafted.

According to the constitution the objects of the association were: to further the interests of former SEC employees; to encourage continued social interaction with former colleagues and to arrange social functions and other activities for members from time to time.

The final committee meeting was held 10 May 1995 at Monash House, Melbourne to wind-up the association after 37 years. Various aspects of the dispersal of the association were arranged. The records of the association were to be placed with the SEC archives. (This information about the association was found in the correspondence and minutes within this series.)

The records include a small amount of correspondence, some copies of Link magazine, annual reports (1980 to 1994), minutes of committee meetings and minutes of general meetings. Some volumes contain minutes of general meetings or committee meetings only, while others contain minutes of both general meetings and committee meetings within a single volume. The first minute book was lost.
