About The Bouddi Society
The Bouddi Society began life as the Killcare Hardys Bay Progress Association. The Progress Association left development issues to other groups to focus on creative cultural activities, formally becoming ‘The Bouddi Society’ in 2001. Annette Wilson was the first President and editor of the newsletter and subsequently was given life membership for her very worthwhile endeavours. Jill Baxter and David Dufty were also made life members. Phil Donnelly’s appointment as President of the Bouddi Society was announced in April, 2004. He retained the position up until 2021.
