Issue No. 88 Newsletter June 2020 Waimate Historical Society Bill Scott — Local Artist Well, what a year it has been so far!! A lot has been happening in the world in this crazy time but there's also been a lot happening at the Waimate Museum and Archives too. This news letter will be about some of those things. Where to start? Bill Scott's Mural was unveiled a couple of weeks prior to lockdown on a rather rainy day. We were lucky enough to have Councillor Fabia Fox come in and unveil this for us with a small crowd of about 15. The Timaru Herald Photographer even made the trip in the rain. It’s always good to have the publicity. The mural depicts an early Waimate scene. The murals faces are hinged so they can be popped out and replaced with your own face for a unique photo opportunity. This fits in nicely with the murals that Bill has painted around the town. The large mural sits at the Shearman Street end of the Pavilion building. The structure is covered due to the the generosity of local builder, Rob Wilkins and his great team. This allows the mural to be used in bad weather as well as providing a little shade in Summer. Come on down and take a photo and send it to us — we would love to see them. You can email them to us at: [email protected]
