Oh What a Night!

Guests from our Sister City, Mt Hagen, with the Mayor of Orange, Cr John Davis at the Dinner

On Saturday 7th August I hosted a Gala Dinner at the Orange Function Centre to celebrate 150 years of Local Government in Orange. I was delighted to welcome so many members of our community and guests from near and far. These included former Mayor, Ronald John Hill; Janet Lee a descendadnt of our first Chairman, John Peisley; and delegates from our Sister City Mt Hagen. During the evening we were entertained by former Town Clerk Bill Marshall who recounted the highs and lows of his time at the top.

A definite highlight was the presentation of the [[Celebrating Our Community Awards]] which recognised 56 individuals, organisations and businesses who have contributed to our city. Each Awardee was presented with a framed personalised commemorative stamp to mark the occassion. To allow for everyone to be part of the birthday year we're extending the Stamp Offer to the wider community.

Cr John Davis Mayor of Orange

The launch of this 150 year Wiki gives all of the community the opportunity to contribute their stories about the people, places, services and events that have contributed to the history of local government in Orange. We've included some stories to get you started but this is very much a work in progress and will be dependent on you supplying us with information to build this resource.
