JULY 2020

MARKET LIFE WITH

MARGARET Margaret Lindsay Francis… Where do I

start ? Certainly not finished! Margaret

wrote out her first invoice for the

Maitland Markets in August 2006 and

has hardly taken a break since.

A little background on the Markets of

which some people may not be

aware. The council shed that houses

the Markets had it’s interior designed

and developed by The Maitland Auto

Preservation Society (MAPS) between

1990 -2000. This has been the

streetscape backdrop for the

Maitland Markets from August 2006 up

until today.

Throughout that time Margaret has

kept up to date with the

bookkeeping, made sure the stock

and craft supplies were full, kept tabs

on the active creative displays, quality

of cooking and produce plus displays

of artwork to name but a few.

Filming of Postcards with Keith Conlon

helped to put Maitland Markets on the

Tourist Map when the uniqueness of

the shed interior was recognised.

Monies raised by the Maitland Markets has been used to assist Maitland Progress

projects including bedroom furnishings for the Clydesdale Cottage Bed &

Breakfast. Also for charities including Cancer Council Biggest Morning Tea and

local groups like Maitland Music and Arts Club and supplying home made

biscuits and packaging.

Margaret opened the Maitland Markets for special groups and bus loads of

people for morning tea. She used to make real soup, NOT from packet stock, in

winter until too many were bringing their thermoses to take more home.

Margaret showed she was flexible and able to adapt when musicians dropped in

randomly to entertain and enthral. Guitarists, keyboardists and Classical

musicians were all given their time to shine. Margaret made room for local school

students to operate a coffee machine and sell homemade muffins as part of

their curriculum.

Margaret, a Justice of the Peace since 1964, has quietly provided her services at

the Markets and also from home to the wider Maitland Community.

Margaret has shared that throughout her 14 years of volunteering her time at the

Markets and she has worked with a good group of people. She has immensely

enjoyed their company and meeting new people with the flow of tourists through

the Markets doors. She also added her personal touch to the Markets with her

own knitted and crocheted items along with plenty of baked goods, jams &

pickles.

We would like to take this opportunity to Thank You Margaret for everything you

have brought to our wonderful community.

Margaret has been at the helm of the Maitland Markets for many years. Her

knowledge of the town and surrounding districts that she could give to the

travellers and public was priceless. Margaret’s organisation skills are second to

none. We had many positive comments at the Market regarding the beautiful

quilts, craft and produce. The Maitland Markets is also a meeting place for locals

with morning tea and coffee and homemade cakes and biscuits.

All the Volunteers would like to thank Margaret for all the fun we have had and

wish her well in her retirement. We all can’t wait for the Maitland Markets to

re-open.

NEWS FROM THE MAITLAND & DISTRICT PROGRESS ASSOCIATION

It seems slightly surreal to think that it has now been three months since we

first were told to social distance, cough into our elbows, wash our hands for 20

seconds and to stay at home. While we have been lucky in South Australia,

we have seen how quickly things can change if we don’t continue to take

care. However we don’t want to confuse social distancing with social

isolation; we still need to keep an eye out for friends and neighbours as many

still feel anxious. Just asking someone how they are, even a friendly wave,

can help make someone feel valued.

As the rules help take us to a new normal, many of Progress activities are

returning. The Men’s Shed is back in action, as are several of the community

groups that use the meeting room at the information centre. One important

activity of Progress that will not open immediately is the Maitland Markets.

During the Covid closure, many of our volunteers decided they enjoyed the

freedom from the weekly commitment to the Market and as you will have

seen from the article in the cover Margaret Francis, the backbone of the

Maitland Markets, has resigned due to poor health. I would like to express my

gratitude to Margaret and her loyal volunteers who have built-up the Markets

to a location which is valued by many in the community as well as tourists.

Are you looking for a new challenge since Covid?

Margaret has left big shoes to fill. With guidance from the Market volunteers

Progress has decided that it needs to establish a part-time, paid role ‘The

Markets and Community Engagement Coordinator’ – please see advert on

previous page.

Our AGM will be held in August and I would love to see some new faces

come and join Progress. If you are passionate about making Maitland a

great place to live, work and visit then why not come and join M&DPA

because that is our objective as well.

Stay Safe

A HEART-FELT THANK YOU

"We would like to thank everyone who has looked after Trev during his (multiple)

hospital stays. The marvellous ambulance volunteers and their team leader, who

came to assist during his first heart attack. The wonderful nursing staff at Maitland

Hospital. Dr Bromley who organised the helicopter transfer and the prompt

treatment at the RAH and who stayed with Trev until the air ambulance people

arrived. Paul Whittaker, Maitland hospital for his patience and care, coming out

to our home with the follow-up care and his clear explanation of Trev's heart

condition. Dr Duah's care and treatment during Trev's subsequent hospital stays.

We also extend our thanks and praise to the specialists, doctors and nurses at the

RAH, who literally saved Trev's life twice in one night.

To all the friends who have kept us in their prayers, friends who have kept in touch

and passed on their good wishes and offered gifts of food. Our family and my

distant old friends who have kept in touch, with many words of comfort via the

internet, we say thank you. Words alone cannot express our gratitude to all. You

have all been absolutely wonderful - Thankyou"

A MESSAGE FROM PASTOR ANN PHILLIPS

Maitland Uniting Church will open for worship from Sunday 9

August. We will be subject to the government restrictions and

will be practicing social distancing and other guidelines

required at that time. Initially we will not share in morning tea

and will closely monitor the health guidelines. Opening is

subject to the covid-19 situation continuing to improve as it

has recently in South Australia.

You may wonder why we are waiting so long, when other

churches are opening earlier? Maitland Uniting Church

consists of members who are mostly in the vulnerable section

of society. We value the welfare of our community and have decided it is best for us to

proceed with caution when it comes to opening. We have decided to take some extra

time to examine our practices and not rush back. Church itself has not closed or

stopped. Although our building has been closed we have continued to worship at

home in a variety of ways and have kept in contact with each other and the

community during this time of isolation. Worship at home resources are available to all

(please contact Pastor Ann via phone or email) and these will continue for the

foreseeable future. We have realized that there are some who wish to worship but are

unable to get to church and this may be felt even more during the coming months; so

for that reason we will continue to supply a worship at home resource and connection

to our church.

The church will be available for hire after the 9 August. If you are interested in using the

facilities please contact Pastor Ann or the church leaders in the first instance.

2020 has been a very different year, one that will go down in history and be

remembered into the future. What have you learnt during this time? Many of us have

had more time to think, more time to spend with families. For some there have been less

demands on our time. I want to acknowledge and thank those who have worked

harder than ever before, who have kept things going while others have been isolated.

As we begin to come out of isolation things will be different; there will be a new set of

social guidelines. Some will be excited to meet with friends, but others will be fearful. We

are all different and cope with things in different ways. I encourage us all to be gentle

with each other as we enter into a new normal.

Grace and Peace
