New president to lead museum

Ceduna National Trust Museum has a new president at the helm.

The museum hosted its annual general meeting on Saturday, where longtime president Allan “Tubba” Lowe stepped down from his role after 43 years.

Moving up into the position is Geoff Zippel, while Tubba will remain as vice president.

Bronny Rice has given up her committee position as secretary/treasurer, but will stay on as a volunteer.

Leading the museum alongside Geoff and Allan will be secretary Ian Macgowan and events coordinator Penny Brace.

Members present on Saturday enjoyed a barbecue lunch after the meeting.

Ken Wright was the museum’s first president when it opened in 1980, but Tubba soon took over the position and has been a dedicated volunteer over the decades.
