Launch of new Friends website 

Our new Friends website was launched Wednesday 15 April 2026. While it’s taken slightly longer than originally expected, it has been worth the wait.

The new website has a more user-friendly presentation and several new features; for instance, the front page features a slider display of interesting news and events plus an easily accessible calendar. Once our new online membership database is in place, members will be able to access the system through the Member Portal and update their contact details or renew.

The Friends Council contracted Even Dots Creative, a local IT company, to manage the technical aspects of the launch and provide ongoing technical support.

The Friends Website team will still have responsibility for the content of the website and can be contacted at website@friendsanbg.org.au.

Council wishes to express our sincere thanks to Beth Tyerman in particular, and the website editors and all the other volunteers who have made this project possible.
