 Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (10:03): It was fantastic to attend the 80th birthday of the Hut Gallery in Ferntree Gully recently. Happy 80 years. Can I thank all the wonderful volunteers there. Shirley Dougan does an incredible job. I always love coming in and seeing Shirley. She always calls me ‘dude’ and ‘man’. It always gives me the boost I need for my day. She is a wonderful human, as are all the volunteers there. I note back in the 1940s, when they first started, they bought the hut for about £130-odd. Money went a lot further back then. So happy 80 years, and thank you again to all the volunteers.
