A request from the Historical Society of Eastbourne:
We’re currently working on a digital photo sequence to be screened at the Eastern Bays Community Resilience Expo on 24th March, depicting extreme weather events, bushfires and other natural disasters that have affected the Eastern Bays in past decades.
In our archive collection we have many historical photos of such events, but we’d like to include more recent images as well, covering the last 25 years – especially of storms, flooding and slips, and the damage they’ve caused.
So if you have any digital photos that would fit the bill, and wouldn’t mind sharing them, Ali Carew would be very grateful! Please email the images to her at alicarewnz@gmail.com, preferably before next Monday (18th March).
And don’t forget: the Expo will be in the Muritai School Hall on Sunday 24 March, from 10am to 3pm. It’s a great opportunity to learn how we can become more resilient as a community, especially in the face of increasingly severe (and frequent) weather events.
