Canowindra Fire Captain Bill Paul said it was a good experience and a chance for members to come and see the countryside.

“We facilitated the meeting. It was the first time we have held a meeting like this.

“It was very interesting,” Captain Paul said.

Captain Paul said Canowindra was a central location, and probably why their station was picked.

“People had to come from Sydney, Dubbo, Leeton, Orange and Bathurst.

“I don’t know but I reckon they might hold one in Molong next time.”

The meeting was organised so budgets could be reviewed, people could network and generally get a feel for how everything is going.

Another important part of the meeting is actually discussing how the zone is going.

“It just gives everyone a chance to meet up and

discuss how things are going,” Captain Paul said.
