Betty, the founding secretary of the Annandale Association, and her husband Hugh, remember moving into their derelict house in Annandale. They met other like minded people and using the model of the Balmain Association, set up an association to protect the structure of Annandale - which was threatened by the construction of a freeway through it.
To mark the 10th Anniversary of the Association, and Betty's matching contribution her friends made and presented her with a quilt. She recalls, the pleasant surprise, which followed the unexplained absence of her fellow members, from committee meetings, for the preceding six weeks.

Few murals from this period of social activism remain. It is a proposed Heritage Item. -August 2010 Precinct Meeting Agenda
