On Saturday, March 31st, Geoffrey King of “The Bush Telegraph Boys”, spoke at the Kersbrook District Men’s Breakfast.

The theme of the meeting was, “One hundred years of telephony”.
Three other “Bush Telegraph Boys”, who collectively brought along items from their collection of telephones, accompanied Geoff.

Some 45 attended the Breakfast and the enthusiasm of the speaker and the range of phones in the display entranced all.
