A Book About Merriwa
1824 – 2023
A Book About Merriwa 1824-2023 will be going to the printers in just over a week. To date, we have sold 182 books, we were thinking we would only be able to print 200 copies but with the pre-sales, we will be able to go a bit over that number now.
There are no plans to do a reprint so when they’ve all sold, there will be no more.
Price of the book is $40 and if postage anywhere in Australia is required, a further $15.
We are sponsoring pages for $50 which allow for people to add their names or business or memory of families.
You may pay for your book by direct debit:
Rotary Club of Merriwa Inc.
BSB 932000
Acc No:100263994
As a reference, could you please post your name.
If you wish to pay cash, could you put the money in an envelope with your name on the envelope and drop it off at Di’s Clothing Patch.
The book will be A4 in size and just over 400 pages.
Please order by Monday 16th October 2023.
If you need any further information, please phone Elaine Sparrow 0427488560.
