It was a great book group meeting: lots of talk about the changes to the school after the safeguards for the school put in place by the state government following the opening of the injecting room next door and the (misguided) public sensitivity about that. If I may editorialise for minute, having been at the school for 8 years, I have seen the drug problem in the area. I do not see how a public injecting room can do anything other than benefit both the users and the neighbourhood.
We also had a live cross via internet to two group members at Mt Hotham which while of dubious worth was a lovely diversion. Sorry Grant for directing you to the wrong book because of my mistake on the website.
Great to see a couple of faces reappear, Quinn and Mark.
The next meeting will be at The All Nations on 5 September.
