LAST week the Southern Grampians Shire Council (SGSC) took a few minutes towards the end of its May meeting to formally recognise one of the stalwarts of the Sir Reginald Ansett Transport Museum after he flagged his impending resignation as president and chairman.

Although Bill Sharp is technically yet to ‘file the paperwork’, Council knew about the announcement and decided to honour his contribution to the important Hamilton tourist attraction, describing his service as “outstanding”.
