February is AGM season in Coolamon, with two key community organisations calling for strong local support.

The Up2Date Art Exhibition committee is urging artists and supporters to attend its annual general meeting on Monday 9 February at the Coolamon Sport and Recreation Club, starting at 6pm.

As one of the region’s most respected cultural events, the exhibition depends on community involvement, and the committee is keen to see a solid turnout.

The Coolamon RSL Sub Branch will hold its AGM two days later, on Wednesday 11 February at 7pm, also at the Sport and Recreation Club.

The Sub Branch has also confirmed the return of its popular “Coffee and Chat” gatherings in 2026.

Veterans, their families, new residents and visiting veterans are all welcome to join in, with no membership required.
