Pending Events
| COVID-19 Implications for PASA
At the recent PASA Council meeting held on Thursday 12 March, Council discussed the implications of the COVID-19 virus for PASA’s activities. It was the unanimous decision of the Councillors present to cancel all PASA events planned until the end of July.
We have taken this course for the health and well-being of our members and volunteers. We hope that at least some of the cancelled events might be rescheduled to a later date. In the meantime, we will refund all monies paid by those of you who have paid to attend the Pub Lunch and Junior Pioneers events.

The 7 ships chosen for the 2020 programme all arrived in 1840.
The first meeting on 12 February will be primarily for those who are planning to do ships'

There will be a question and answer session to clarify details of how we are collecting and
collating. The Research Help meeting in November will be primarily for members whose ancestors
arrived in 1840 and need help with finding resources.If you would like to express your interest in being part of this project, then please contact
