Minutes of Meetings of the Sydney Harbour Bridge Celebrations Committees, 1931-1932

Description

Unique IDAS-0945DateBetween 1st January 1931 and 1st January 1932Date qualifiercircaFormatVolume - Leather BoundDescriptionThis volume is labelled "Sydney Carnival Week - Executive & Sectional Committee Minutes", but it is actually the minutes of meetings of the Executive and Sectional committees of the Sydney Harbour Bridge Celebrations.

This volume contains only unsigned copies of the minutes that appear to have been kept by the Town Clerk and Deputy Town Clerk. The Lord Mayor was the President of the Executive Committee, and the Town Clerk was a member of the Finance Committee.

The volume includes the minutes of the following committees: the Sporting Sectional Committee, the Arts and Music Committee, the Publicity Committee, the Transport Sectional Sub-Committee, the Pageantry and Historical Committees, the Finance Committee, the Primary Producers Sectional Sub-Committee, and the Churches Committee.

The first meetings were held on 15 September 1931 and the last on the 26 April 1932 (after the celebrations had finished). The last meeting was held to consider the running of an annual floral festival and sports carnival in Sydney using the expertise that had been gained during the Bridge celebrations. This may explain the volume being called "Sydney Carnival Week".
